List your predictions for the next 6 months here
I'll go first:
- Libs will suddenly discover that there's concentration camps in Gaza. This will lead to one protest with cheeky signs.
- Someone assassinates a prominent politician (not Trump)
- McDonalds' releases a new burger, which Trump tweets about.
- John Bolton releases a new book.
- Trump inflames tensions with Indonesia or Mauritania, suddenly everyone is a geopolitical expert
- Trump pledges to give more weapons to Ukraine after meeting Zelensky. Stops all support after meeting Putin, pretends not to have made the previous pledge.
- Trump will do a minor goof which libs will bring up for the next four years. His supporters will carry around comfort blankets to show support
The ninth Trump assassination attempt actually succeeds in hitting him and it's even a direct hit, but through a bizarre freak coincidence it misses every major blood vessel in his brain and he survives. He undergoes a change in personality like Phineas Gage, becoming increasingly fixated on Sonic the Hedgehog, posting takes about the series on Twitter late into the night. He regains his posting power, but devotes the bulk of it to dunking on Ken Penders and expanding the lore of his fanfics.
Donald Trump charges the entire federal establishment with writing fanfics about his Sonic OC, in a highly publicized effort to unseat The Loud House: Revamped. He does not succeed.
He still does a
and declares that goal was always to make the longest Sonic fanfic.
- Biden dies on January 19th, making Kamala the first female and also the shortest serving president.
- The libs hold a big protest for democracy. They wheel out the big Baby Trump blimp. None of it has any consequence in the real world.
- Democrats decide that they lost because of looney leftists, uppity minorities and Russia. They decide to move further right, surely this time they will convince all the moderate republicans
- Trump humiliates one or more European leaders in public. They will have no option but to take it. Trump will despise them even more because of it.
- Elon Musk gets his meme job to make the government effective. Apart from introducing slightly more bureaucracy he gets nothing done.

nah, he'll also somehow fire all the garbage collectors responsible for a major city, leading to 2 years of all the trash left on the streets
Less cool version of The Joker movie with the garbage collector strikes.
Trump humiliates one or more European leaders in public. They will have no option but to take it. Trump will despise them even more because of it.
Yes please, the more of that the better.
Liberals will start opposing things they were supporting weeks ago because it’s Trump doing them. Nothing will ever happen because history ended.
To which I want to say, I fucking called it, and this is why I argued Trump might be the less bad option. At least when he does evil shit people oppose him.
-
human you human transmission of H5N1, hate crimes against Latinos and possibly Asians ensues
-
genocide continues
-
anti china propaganda continues
-
any cry for change is met with "you should've voted kamala while you has the chance"
-
I get more into journaling
hate crimes against Latinos and possibly Asians ensues
Hate crime against latinos and Asians?
By who? Please expand on that
Whites used covid starting in China as an excuse to hate crime Asians
Most people being infected with H5N1 are undocumented farm workers from Latin America and hatred of Latinos is ever increasing, from both sides
H5N1 started in Hong Kong and even if it didn't whites will still blame us Asians just for fun
-
nothing will fundamentally change
The democratic party will continue to support the genocide in Gaza and the concentration camps at the border
Biden will invade Iran
First human to human transmission of bird flu in early January
Trump will call Zelensky a loser, but weapons shipments will remain at status quo
Trump will go off script and talk about how he has the best penis at some random press conference
Trump will veto a national abortion ban. Bipartisanship will override the veto
Elimination of overtime pay for all salaried workers
$500 stimulus
Blue Jan 6 at some random tourist attraction in DC. All liberals involved will be jailed. At least 1 will be deported
National guard will open fire on pro-Palestine protestors
Biden will shit himself will giving a speech at a college graduation
Mass shooting at a gamestop after tariffs make video games more expensive
At least 1 will be
deportedexecuted for treasonElimination of overtime pay for all salaried workers
The other day I "joked" with my friend that this will be how Donald implements his "no tax on overtime" campaign promise. He'll just get rid of overtime protections entirely. Can't tax something that nobody has.
Getting rid of overtime protections with an exception leaving them in place only for cops
Cybertruck at the White House
Elon reprises his "let that sink in" bit
Photoshoot of Elon in the oval office. Possibly doing the X
X goes bankrupt.
Government buys it and hands it back to Elon for like 50 billion dollars
Begins to make steps to make an x account a form of USA ID
America does the actual social credit scores they accuse china of
Maybe the US can just sell social security administration to musk, he's a young techno whiz kid
not a six month prediction, but I'm pretty sure Trump will die while in office, from illness, not assassination
I'm calling it now: he dies on May 2027, from heart disease
RemindMe! 130 weeks
spoiler
I wish we had a RemindMeBot.
@remindme@mstdn.social 130 weeks
There used to be one on Lemmy not sure if it's still up
America deserves couchfucker president, lmao.
People will organise, riot on the streets. The military will be called in to stop them, but they will be stretched too thin to handle the crowds. People demanding their rights to healthcare, education, community, freedom and an end to capitalism.
They will march on the seat of power, but unlike the Chuds of Jan 6, once they have power they will use it to change the status quo once and for all. The USA will finally have a real democracy, one run by the people and not the oligarchs. They will stop funding overseas wars, and instead focus on funding industry at home, especially science and education.
Biden dies, Trump gets assassinated.
Year of the 4 presidents baybeeee
If Biden dies before January 2025 and Harris is briefly president then every lib will be insufferable and makes jokes about how she still managed to become the first woman president despite the machinations of Drumpf and it'll be one of those things that they bring up over the next four years under the impression that it greatly annoys Republicans (covfefe!!), when in reality, they don't give the slightest shit because their dude will be in the middle of deporting everybody who looks vaguely "Mexican", regardless of their nationality, and regardless of all the catastrophic social and economic consequences of that action
Prices will continue to go up in synch with the amount of articles telling us how well "the economy" is doing.
Dems will try to impeach Trump once a month.
Covid part 2
Covid is back, Bart! In pog form!
I will be depressed. I will be sad. I will be angry. I will blow up at liberals and conservatives.
Oh, you meant about Trump?
Trump will begin implementing some policies from Project 2025, especially around restrictions surrounding abortion/reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, and immigration/refugee policies.
You’ll also see a reversal of many of the good Biden-era domestic achievements surrounding labour and consumer protections (maybe by gutting the NLRLB, but that may be a longer term project) and definitely getting rid of Lina Khan.
More Trump-appointed judges at the lower levels, even if not at the Supreme Court (within the six-month timeframe) and beginning the process of staffing federal agencies with Trump loyalists.
Begin the rollback of EPA and environmental standards, maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.
Probably some more stuff too.
maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.
Tbf this means nothing, we’re already not following the Paris Accords
I will be gay.
I will do crime.
Heh that's gay!
I'm still kinda in the "nothing ever happens" camp. I think Libs are gonna get egg on their face when Trump mostly just governs like a regular ass Republican. Things get worse but there's not 1984 style dystopia.
Same. The thing I’m most worried about is RFK doing a bunch of damage to the regulatory state, but that won’t be obvious it’ll just mean like, people getting food poisoning more often.
Also he’s the one most likely to affect my employment directly
The fire rises
Buthan
Buthan deez nuts
No propane, dang it bobby!
There will be a recession starting sometime between the end of 2026 to beginning of 2028. Probably goes on for a couple years just like 2008. Trump will blame communists and Americans will idiotically agree and bail out the banks again.
Even higher death rate in Gaza. Israel killing many hundreds of people a day directly instead of every once in a while.
South Africa finally getting kicked out of AGOA, probably
This would probably be a blessing because AmeriKKKa is undermining it's own authority, allowing South Africa to engage in further participation with BRICS and the Belt and Road
continually wondering whether the day's events mean that it's WW3 yet
Dem party regroups at new, even more rightwing positions. John Bolton endorse them.
Trump will do a minor goof which libs will bring up for the next four years. His supporters will carry around comfort blankets to show support
This one is rather certain.
