What are you most optimistic about in political developments in 2025?

Indeed, and we're all on this unknown roller coaster ride.  It's going to be whatever it turns out to be.  My hope is that my worst fears won't manifest.

I hope this red wave is only one time moment. I hope Americans ( doubt it) can see the real truth to come out. I’m tired of the billionaires agendas.

Absolutely nothing. It is clear that our republic has been overthrown, and that there are no checks and balances. Everything a judge strikes down in the lower courts will be moved up to the SCOTUS, and guess whose pocket those corrupt pieces of shit are in?

Absolutely correct.  The US will be thrown back to the 80's or so within another week and over the next 1440 days or so the US will be driven back to the 50's and possibly earlier wrt legalized and aggressive discrimination.

Wrt to authoritarianism itself, this will be fully a society terrorized by the worst kind of Het Bros.  It is possible that this will result in an actual civil war.

Yup. My marriage is going to become unrecognized. Its already moving to the Supreme Court. They will begin targeting homosexuals in other ways. Grindr, scruff, onlyfans, everything. I want out of this country.

1950s pre-Civil Rights discrimination and a second Civil War.

I'm terrified!

I want to be part of bringing the best parts of who we were back.  Giving up here, while it seems like the way to just put all this nonsense aside, isn't going to work.  While it appears to be a USA problem, in fact this is a global situation.  Running away an hiding won't solve a thing.  

I've sworn an oath now multiple times in my now long life.  To say "fuck it I'll move to XYZ" may give short term comfort, history has shown over the millenia that it is not a solution to the problem.  

The USA in particular has layers of government.  And that wasn't an accident.  Several layers have been broken by Trump, Musk, a house and senate who have done their own "fuck it".  But we do have courts SCOTUS notwithstanding, and we do have governors and state attorney generals.  

This is a really really bad time to declare "fuck it"...  Unless you like what is happening.

Its not a bad time to say, "fuck it". Its actually the right time. We have lost. The writings on the wall. We have but a little time left to prepare and get the fuck out while we still can because this is only going to get worse for us. And dont blame me. I spent decades of my life as an activist on my college campus. I was in the protests in downtown Richmond being tear gassed. I did my part, and it was futile. I dont give af about what this country goes through now. Its just a hurricane of piss headed right in our direction.

You do you @120DaysofSodom  it is likely this crap is going to follow you/us no matter where we go.  But yeah, after 3/4 of a century I am kind of tired of fighting the same fucking battle again.  And yet....  I wish you well brother.

I am wishing everybody well. History is repeating itself. Cheeto Hitler seized control over our government in exactly the same way as Vladimir Putin and Victor Orban. Russia and Hungary both lost their democracies in this manner through a bloodless coup. Only this really will shed blood because millions of people are going to die under Trumps disastrous policies. Now is the time to just prepare. Pull money out of your bank and keep it hidden somewhere in cash. Arm yourself. Stockpile essentials. Have a kit ready to get the fuck out immediately. Make sure your passport is up to date. Liquidate non-essentials: art, silver, gold, etc. This will all get worse way before it ever gets better.

Australias 🇦🇺 Federal Opposition Leader (Conserative) who has spent months haranguing our current government over excessive immigration (legal & illegal) was recently recorded on video telling one of our largest immigrant groups that he wanted to bring in a "special WEALTH VISA" classification allowing in, an influx of useless wealth stored in tax free off shore banks 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Over time you realize that the further the pendulum swings in any direction, the more momentum it has swinging back. Also a broken clock is right twice a day. So there’s hope for what comes next from either perspective. The people wanted something different from the usual corrupt political industrial complex and now they have it. It may be the exact thing that se need to get our shit together. If not then we can at least be comforted by the fact that in two years the tables will turn as they always do and we’ll have a political deadlock that will keep us from going over the brink of insanity.

Didn’t Trump say: If you vote for me, it will be the last time you have to vote.

There will be no midterms anymore.
