Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has sparked fears of an “imperial presidency” as he plans to expand presidential power, backed by a compliant Republican Congress and Supreme Court.
Trump’s agenda includes dismantling federal agencies, mass deportations, cutting education funding, restricting transgender rights, and a renewed “America First” foreign policy, potentially isolating the U.S. and straining alliances like NATO.
Critics warn of authoritarian tendencies, with plans to target political enemies and loosen rule of law constraints.
Civil society groups anticipate resistance, but experts fear Trump could invoke extreme measures like the Insurrection Act to quell opposition.

Do you think we ought to relieve posts like this?
Like, we all know what he’s going to do, we’ve had months and months of many outlets telling us what he’ll do. We don’t need the reminder.
To be very fair there is value to experts confirming something that is already widely speculated, and there are organizations and groups who need to prepare for likely Trump actions. It’s just that in this case what they’re confirming is obvious and therefore not very useful.
I kind of agree. I don’t see how it’s helpful to speculate all of the insane things he can do. At best your just making people complacent, at worst your giving them ideas.
This is not to say that we shouldn’t post every thing he actually does… I just don’t see how these speculative articles are helpful to anyone other than people trying to make money off doom scrolling.
Fear and anger drive engagement and people love those sweet updoots.
The medium is the message, etc.
The word for a dictator that overthrows a republic and converts it to an empire is just, you know, Emperor.
Are there any historical examples of fascist regimes losing power without a violent takedown?
A gold-plated shitter age.
Basically the same as we already have now
Democrats only exists to prop up the false dichotomy
I’m going to point and laugh at you when you realize that things are actually becoming an order of magnitude worse, and you finally understand that you’ve been pushing false equivalence the whole fucking time.

I’ll ask how you feel about that comment when we’re standing next to each other in the firing squad line.
He’ll be a grovelling serf, and probably not end up in the actual firing line
See you on the cattle cars
