See the recent US Supreme Court decisions, Trump put 3 of them on there

- Roe v Wade

- Chevron Deference

- Presidential Immunity (which went above and beyond to say evidence from official acts can no longer be used in other trials)

It's worth noting that a second Trump term is likely to be very different from the first one. Good people tried to help the first time, most walked away or were fired for lack of loyalty. Trump also learned this the first time, and with Mike Pence, learned he needs to pick for loyalty above all else.

There is also Project 2025, which grew out of the first term failures (Trump did not deliver much of anything he said he would), and is a concerning, concentrated effort to "drain the swamp" (by replacing it with an exclusive golf course)

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, Trump's comments on NATO, and Chinese soldiers on the Poland-Belarus border have a lot of people worried outside of America.

I wish the world would pay attention to the points you made. It should provide a picture of what direction we’re heading in if Trump is elected again. It’s very concerning.

Most people are tuned out, don't want to spend the time / energy / angst that it takes to curate / learn, so they only get the reduced / filtered content from the major sources, or more concerning the viral content on social media

And some others want to donate $45m/mo to accelerate this shit.

Chevron deference being upended will likely hamper anything Trump wants to do.

Immunity: the courts still get a say as to what is an official act.

Project 2025 is actually a conservative agenda. With the pick of JD Vance, I wouldn't expect much of that out of his administration.

Chevron: The president appoints many judges, who will be overseeing the slew of cases that will happen

Immunity: In an ironic twist w.r.t to the Chevron ruling, this ruling says that judges should defer to presumed immunity, making the bar very high to bring a case. With the inability to bring much evidence, it will be even harder.

Project 2025: Most of the authors (31 iirc) are former Trump staffers, and even more are involved in the massive hiring / vetting / placing process. JD Vance was Heritage's top choice
