Liberals will be very angry and distraught. There will be a lot of crying and disbelief and impotent liberal rage and promises and demands and bargaining. They'll call it illegitimate. Over time that will die down. They'll insist the left is to blame (naturally) and that Bernie cost them the election but also it was Russia and also somehow China who got Trump re-elected. America's decline in the estimation of the EU and other allies will continue, her reputation will be damaged very badly for re-electing him. The CIA will have a lot of displeased people drinking themselves into liver trouble.
Trump will probably be somewhat surprised himself. Who knows how he acts during his second term but he's probably going to continue being a racist but not terribly effective imperialist who makes life generally miserable for those in the US. The Dems may retake the Senate if not they probably will in 2022. At any rate they won't capture the House so Trump will continue ruling by executive orders, some of which the courts toss (because lol you can't infringe private property rights of the bourgeoisie even if it suits your racist, nativist crusade and you appointed the judge). The division of the US will increase. There will be sporadic incidents of reactionary terrorism and violence throughout his term but no massively deadly amount of them around the election as most will be soothed by his re-election into thinking they can calm down a bit.
The cold war with China will continue (with Democratic support). The poor will continue to get poor while the rich gets rich. America will continue being imperialist but her reputation will be in tatters for some time. In other words nothing that major.
At any rate they won’t capture the House
but the dems have the house now?
Meant the Republicans. Apologies, I should have been more clear there. That was written confusingly.
Good question, though I think the answer from many right now will be 'more of the same'.
Trump probably fires Fauci from the white house. That's been hinted to several times already.
COVID will continue to rage out of control. Depending on how the senate turns out, they probably don't push for another COVID relief bill until next year and if Republicans have more say in it, we are looking at even less breadcrumbs passed our way.
Liberals will quickly latch onto another Russiagate style conspiracy theory and will be screaming at the left for how Biden lost, that will be a given from the beginning if Trump wins.

This time the left needs to use it, even if it's demonstrably not true as like 95% of you libs will have have voted for Biden anyways, make it clear that they need to earn votes from the left with actual compromises and policies we want like they think they need to earn them from the right.
internet will be insufferable for a few weeks or maybe months
it will be if biden wins too
actually the internet is already insufferable
except for chapo dot chat :hexbear:
MTV will be forced to play music videos again. It'll be fucking bizarre.
Headbanger's Ball will be on during daylight hours. They're even going to play Iron Maiden videos from after 2000.
I think if Trump were to win it would be with an even larger disparity in the popular vote. So the libs will go nuclear on twitter against the electoral college, protest about it for a day, then go back to having brunch. Afterwards we all go back to hellworld.
the best part about the " we could be at brunch right now " protesters is that you know they have not missed a single brunch since DT was elected
They skipped brunch once in insane numbers for that Women's March the day after his inauguration to achieve nothing and feel validated about it
Americans are so housebroken. People deadass think that protests work like The Secret, where you just will it into being instead of, you know, creating and using leverage.
Thats how we ended racism, don't cha know? That nice man, Dr. King, was like, gosh, racism is bad and nobody knows it, I better tell'em. (don't know why I'm do an accent)
one of my radicalization moments. specially when weeks later Trump put in Justice Brett, who couldn't have been more comically perfect for the womens march / #metoo crowd to take down.
It's a futile waste to predict the future even in the short term. Just prepare for the worst.
