We're doomed. Not as much as American women are if DTs apparent anti women's rights stance transforms into actual policy.

My predictions for the first 100 days, some of which are shoe ins, especially as it looks like the Reps will have control of both houses as well as having DT in the White House...

Protectionist import tariffs
Withdraw support for Ukraine
Maintain and possibly increase support for Israel
Federal Laws banning abortion
ABC and possibly other media outlets losing their licences
Increase in US fake news
Musk to get lots of NASA contracts for his Spacex company and possibly even a high ranking job in government/NASA
Many, what we'd call, Civil Servants, to lose their jobs and be replaced by Republican voting people

they FAILED ON immigration!!

Lets be clear on that. A lesson that many politicians fail to learn.
[B] Now Harris says she will make it even harder for migrants to seek asylum in the US.

Six out of 10 Americans rate immigration as “very important” in determining how they will vote, according to the Pew Research Center. Other polling suggests voters trust Trump to handle the issue more effectively than Harris.[/B

Too late Harris, IT WAS YOUR MAIN JOB, YOU FAILED.

So Tricky thinks it’s all about immigration. Fancy that…who’d have thought? Seem to remember him saying the same about our own General Election. How did that work out?

In truth I think it’s been about the impact of the economy. Those in the U.S. feel themselves to have been worse off under Biden, conveniently forgetting why they voted Trump out last time around. They’ve put the value of the $ in their pocket above, imo, the safety of the world and elected a criminal as President, but what’s (almost) done is done so we’ll just have to live with it and make the best of things for another five years.

Bang on about me all you want mate. 6 in 10 yanks had it at the front of their gripes.

Here's a test for you

Please look up the black and hispanic vote decline for the democrats and the switch to the Republicans.
Why?
The very people often at the poorer state of the economy rebelled,
Give it a go, you can do do it, I believe in you.
