And plenty of really bad, unethical, and destructive ideas get stymied by cooler heads during the approval process. We have had guardrails in place for a reason. Those guardrails have only recently been removed.
If he does, we’re really fucked.
If he delivers on even 1/3rd of his platform, we’re fucked.
He ran on repealing the ACA and was one ill Republican senator from doing so. He ran on building a wasteful and ineffectual wall, and proceeded to waste billions. He ran on antagonizing our allies, and by the end of his term the US had its worst European perception rating in decades, the Republican Party retracted support for Ukraine, and Putin was building up to invade. He ran on evangelical social causes and proceeded to eliminate right to choose. He ran on punishing brown people and proceeded to cage and kidnap brown children at the border. He ran on lower taxes and proceeded to issue a $1.4 trillion wealth transfer to the wealthiest corporations and people in the world, while SKYROCKETING the debt. He ran on undoing Obama’s presidency (bc spite, and nothing more) and proceeded to eliminate the Obama created pandemic response committee, which undoubtedly contributed to the US experiencing hundreds of thousands of excess COVID deaths. There are more.
What, in your opinion, are those good ideas?
I was driving down the road this morning and there were a row of Harris/Walz signs still posted on the side of the road. For the first time since Wednesday, a flood of tears hit me, but mainly because I just thought of Harris herself and the millions of black women whose hopes have been demolished by this election.
"some good ideas"? Which good ideas?

SF immigrants fear deportation after Trump win
President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations on undocumented immigrants, many of whom live in California. Undocumented residents, advocates, and attorneys in San Francisco are already making preparations.
I have an idea of how things are going to affect Alex here....
But other undocumented immigrants weren’t bothered by Trump’s plan for mass deportations. Some even supported it.
“I’m an immigrant, and I love Trump,” said Alex, a day laborer who has been undocumented since he came to the U.S. from Nicaragua 28 years ago.
Alex, who works as a mover for U-Haul, said he’s excited by Trump’s promise to more thoroughly vet immigrants into the U.S. The 43-year-old said he supports deportations if they are focused on undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
“That’s my fantasy,” Alex said.
He’s supportive of making it harder to enter the country because he believes that when undocumented immigrants commit serious crimes, it makes Americans think they’re all criminals.

Yet Democrats wanted to give someone like him a path to citizenship. He'll definitely never get that with Republicans.SF immigrants fear deportation after Trump win

I'm not sure that we've had a period when the immigration laws weren't racist. We've had limits on national origin, race and religion since we've been a country. I'm not suggesting an open border. I would like keeping political asylum generally in place, allowing people whose net worth, education or valuable skills and a job offer in freely and easily, establish a guest worker program that gives you a way to earn your way and the separation of all immigration and drug enforcement duties. Imo, it hurts the effectiveness of both. My understanding is that most trafficking comes through in ways that draw less attention than an illegal.
19th century. Racist immigration laws started with Chinese in the late 19th, but it wasn't until the 1920s and the red scare that the immigration system as we know it was built, and that's when the racism really began to structure the whole system.
Thanks. Thought the essentially open border policy had ended quite a bit earlier.
It’s far more likely we’ll be Hungary than it is that we’ll continue to succeed? You do realize Trump has already been the president once, right?
Yes and his first term wasn't that great. Now we are going to repeat it with no adults in the room. Realizing it is the heart of the problem.
