Besides with what we know that's on the table currently, what do you think will happen in the oncoming 4 years? (kbin.melroy.org)

Some of these things may sound a little exaggerated, but I'm not going to put it pass anyone considering who we're going to be dealing with in these 4 years.

I'm expecting nutrition labels to be poorly regulated and to be informationally false or fabricated. Because we'll have health "experts" who don't care about people's health.

There'll be a lot of sissy slapping among the rich who're fighting moreso over their ideas in what the best course of action that'll benefit them, than it is to benefit country.

Domestic dispute cases will more likely be thrown out or not focused on because this country has shown as to how many misogynists and incels that there are.

I was playing Half-Life 2 recently and for some reason, the vibes of that game reflected the vibes that we're going to be facing. While not exactly, it'll be a similar atmosphere, where we'll be clinging to whatever escapism outlet that we can find to ignore it all.

(This is USA...for the people who're like "DUHHHHH")

What is this post about? By "we" do you mean the USA?

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, OP didn't specify but this is pretty much entirely about the USA's disastrous public health officials and our growing right-wing population.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

We also have a growing left-wing population. The US is polarizing and more people are becoming class-aware.
