Trump’s America is going to be chaotic. That’s why he was elected. People didn’t want progress. They want entertaining chaos. Trump is Mojo from the X-Men comics.
The unemployment rate, GDP growth, and the stock market should have meant Biden/Harris cruised to election. If anything policy-related led to Trump’s election, it was prices (not inflation) and border security. It’ll be interesting to see how those 2 things change over the next 4 years, while also keeping track of the unemployment rate and GDP growth. I would wager extremely heavily that over the course of the next 4 years, prices will not generally go down and unemployment will go up. I do think it’s possible the amount of drugs and illegal immigrants coming over the southern border will go down, but not dramatically. One irony is that the BBB and CHIPS funding Biden passed will continue to stimulate the economy and improve our infrastructure and security over the next 4 years, preventing things from being as bad as Trump would otherwise make them.
Meanwhile, a whole bunch of shit people weren’t really voting for is going to go down. Cuts to Medicare and SSI, cuts to public education, restrictions on women’s healthcare, increased deficits, and alienation of our allies.
