Trump administration 2024-2028

This article summarizes up nicely what we, and the Europeans, and others, are up against.

How much of this can we control? How much of this should we control? How much of this will we end up controlling over the next few years?

And I would point out - I don't necessarily agree with the use of the word 'Trump', there should be no single country, be it the US, the UK, the EU, who has this much control over our day to day lives - no one - otherwise we are really still just a colony struggling with the decision of becoming a full country.

Trump Has His Finger on Canada’s Kill Switch​

Patriotic defiance means little if Washington can shut off the systems we need​

The thing is, the US is one of the largest arms exporter in the world, and also relies heavily on all kinds of other exports, including software, cloud services, and all kinds of other high value products.

Flipping that kill switch would harm Canada for sure, but would also wipe out Silicon Valley, every major US defence firm and all kinds of other industries for generations as no one would ever trust them again. Microsoft, Apple, etc etc would all crater internationally, and the impact on stock prices would wipe out a lot of pension funds. It would be global financial suicide.

Canada and the EU are already developing our own satellite systems for this risk, as we saw the impact on Ukraine from access just being throttled, but that's just the tip of it, and this kind of thing would impact trillions of dollars worth of assets.

Trump's tariffs are already an act of self harm making US goods more expensive, but this would make them unusable and untrustworthy across the board.

It's not just the Arms industry.

Its Banking, Social Media, Business capabilities. That CDN ICC Judge has had her complete life up ended. No credit cards, no access to her social media accounts, nothing.

With the significant movement of people from left leaning states like California to right leaning states like Texas, this is also to be expected. You can see the trend in your graph from 2018 onward. This should not be earth shattering to anyone paying attention to all the details.

Really? It wasn't that ICE being assholes in the Rio Grande Valley that made the majority Latino population turn on the GOP en masse?

Or at the Kansas State Fair and the Dem and GOP Senatorial Candidates were debating and the GOP dude crows about wheat prices being so high and a farmer yells "Diesel is at 6 bucks you asshole!" To the cheers of the crowd.

Or that Trump is COS playing as a Porn Star at his rallies and turning off the normies?

I think our southern neighbours are done with the grift and graft and are in the throw the bums out mood.
 
If you want to ignore the steady rachet to the left by all means, Other examples of the ratchet include New York City now being lead by a Muslim mayor after being home to the single largest terror attack on American soil... by radical Muslim terrorists.

Of course Trump suffered losses in the mid-terms, this was highly predicable. Every president can expect this, add the Trump effect (his perceived performance by at least half the voter population), the migration trends from blue to red states, and the overall ratchet left... this result is not unexpected nor shocking. Almost every mid-term is a punishment to the incumbent.

If you get your dopamine hit by all things negatively impacting Trump - have at 'er.
 
So it begins. Vance is explicitly saying a lot of Republican voters showed up but didn’t vote Republican, and is attributing the loss to ‘the war’, and says Trump himself admitted it last night. He has begun to distance himself from one of Trump’s signature policy plans, and I think is also lining up the bus at Hegseth.
