What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

According to the Polls somewhere between 40 and 54 percent approve of him, which is a hilariously wide range.

Nonetheless the downward trajectory is clear.

We will see if it is ultimately enough. I still think we ultimately need an economic collapse to save the Republic, which is a grim place to be.

I feel like the more common outcome to an economic collapse is a further embrace of totalitarianism, though?

As I said, a grim place to be.

But the ONLY thing anybody in this vile disgusting country seems to care about is how it impacts them personally. We can be throwing innocent people in gulags all day but unless it impacts anybody personally, they don't care.

I don't see any way out.

Yeah, but not always. The US did not, I don't think become totalitarian in response to the Great Depression.

But yeah, I think there'd need to be some sort of non-totalitarian proposal with popular appeal for how to respond to the the (potential) economic collapse. I'm not sure how well something like that has been articulated yet.

That said, if the totalitarian idea gets blamed for the economic collapse, it may discredit it (though maybe it'll be replaced with a different totalitarian idea).

Court strikes down Trump's DEI executive order, in part on the basis that it did not define what unlawful DEI means.  For example, it can't mean policies ensuring compliance with laws of general application prohibiting racism can't be implemented.
