1. In this thread, I try to imagine the best and worst scenarios arising from Trump’s presidency. I make no claims about probability. I’m not trying to forecast results, just to imagine them. We know it will be terrible, whatever happens. The key question is how (or whether) it ends. 🧵

Musk wields more power than many realise, the reach of X and its ability to divide nations.🤬
Mob rule will be normalised, the police and the army will join the haters, endorsed by the right, cheered on by their propaganda “news” outlets.
He will then aim to regain support by the good old medieval practice of foreign conquests.

Because Trump's presidency had so many bad moments the significance of this one is overlooked imo. Now instead of Mark Millie you'll have Hegseth. I was surprised that some GOP didn't vote as Trump wanted in the last spending bill though.
A nation of armed Karens that have been told since birth they are entitled and free.
Simply won’t happen.
The full reset is likely to take another 20-30 years, not in the next 4
To one sort of capitalist, the insecurity and chaos that Brexit will bring is horrifying. To the other, it is highly profitable https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/24/brexit-capitalism
Whether it succeeds though is not a given.
But the right will weight the scales to such a degree that there will be no realistic chance of them being removed from power.
And just as the people of many nations who voted for monsters based on propaganda, they will deny they had any idea. Just wanted to blame others for their misery

COME ON UNIVERSE, DO THIS ONE THING WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR *PLEASE*
