To be completely honest..America fucked up pretty bad this time.

^

We have a convicted felon about to take the presidency.

Seriously: He was convicted by a JURY. Not only is he a convicted felon, but he was also found to have committed sexual assault in a civil trial..

..and because America chose to elect him, there will no be no consequences for him at all, and all the pending cases are going to be dropped.

That's fuckup #1 (although it's a big one).

Sources:

The senate is now controlled by Republicans

Fuckup #2 is another big one: With the Senate solidly in the hands of Republicans, they can rubber-stamp all of Trump's appointments.. Which leads us to the folks who are going to implement Project 2025, which you can learn more about in the links below.

As of publishing the house is still up in the air, but it looks like the Republicans will hold that, too.. So.. Shit.

Of course, it's now worse than that: Trump has supposedly tapped Elon Musk to fuck over gov't employees, and a goddamned anti-vax, anti-FDA nutjob to head up the HHS.

Sources:

The supreme court legally sanctioned authoritarianism.

Of course, thanks to Trump having packed the court with right-wing sycophants (for the most part), they've essentially said the office of the president has sweeping power to do anything they want as long as they can make some sort of thinly veiled argument that it's a presidential act.

There are just way too many things Trump could do now to fuck us all unchecked, but folks apparently still thought he was a good choice for that power.
