Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election would have sweeping domestic and international consequences, affecting areas like abortion, immigration, gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, the environment, and foreign policy.

Domestically, Trump is expected to weaken gun-safety laws, restrict abortion access, roll back LGBTQ+ rights, and target freedom of the press. His administration could also push for aggressive deportation policies and clamp down on protest movements.

Internationally, Trump’s “America First” approach threatens NATO unity and may embolden allies like Israel to take unilateral actions in the Middle East.

Environmental protections and climate change efforts would likely suffer severe setbacks under his leadership.

    “Immigration” has never been under threat from any party. Donors on both sides need immigration to continue. The difference is one party generally likes to keep immigrants in exceptionally precarious conditions to coerce them to accept low wages. The other party makes token changes that appear raise the immigrant standard of living to something approximating the lower class with limited efficacy.

      Just for the sake of the fact that deporting millions of people as promised would require concentration camps, I sure hope you’re right.

    I am putting my small amount of hope in the inability of the federal government to get anything done.

      It’s looking like all three branches will be controlled by Republicans. We’re just waiting on the House.
