So, if we continued the trends that we saw in the first go around with Trump, he will create chaos in blue cities again, like LA, SFO, Portland and Seattle. A) for a narrative about how bad liberal cities are on Fox News and B) to cover his horrific immigration agenda. I have no doubt that things will get real bad real fast in earl 2025, for some people. Mainly people of Hispanic origins. I wouldn't put it past Trump to do cover ops war in Mexico to supposedly take out drug lords. Tariffs are going wreck the economy. Trump is going to pull support for NATO and Ukraine allowing Russia to roll over the rest of Ukraine (actually it won't be that easy). Trump, Musk and the rest of the clown show are just chaos agents and they all have their own agenda, which is why I think things won't get as bad as you think. Trump is a showman first. If it looks good on Fox News that's all that matters, like the stupid shipping container border wall that did nothing to stop people but looked good. Plus, the things he wants to do take A LOT OF TIME and he doesn't have that. Plus this is a big country. States have extraordinary powers compared to other countries. We are actually 50 mini countries glued together. We each have our own functioning government. They can do A LOT without the federal government and they will.

I don't think that we will see a perpetual MAGA person in power. They want Trump. They don't want Elon, they don't want JD, they don't want his sons, they want the OG Trump. When he is gone a the MAGA will be in a power vacuum that will collapse on itself. The clock is ticking for him. He doesn't have much time... tick, tick, tick...

Anyway, I would prepare as if a hurricane is coming. Food, shelter, power, money. Four years is a short time. The 2028 campaigns start in less than 3 years.
