No question....Trump is bad news.
Take solace in the fact that he's also rather incompetent.

Trump Wants to Talk About **** Size

Quite the contrary. Can you think of a scenario where being unprepared is an advantage? Being unprepared is what leads to panic. If Trump wins there will be 2 and a half months to prepare.
Who said we should be unprepared?
Your agonizing over the worst case scenario
isn't preparation for anything. Tis merely
fretful hand wringing.
What measures would you actually
take to prepare for Trump's 2nd act?
Were they only lies, this would mean there's
some common ground. Alas, she's sincere.
(That's worse.)

Venezuela?
You’re exaggerating. I’m simply saying we have to assume the worst case scenario, and that means we have to mentally prepare. I saw the Jimmy Kimmel interview with Joe Scarborough. And he said a lot that I relate to. He’s a huge critic of Trump and recognizes that he’s dangerous. He admitted that he’s preparing mentally for a Trump win. He says he’s not ready.
I’m a white male so probably the most protected. But I’m still part of a society that is stable and enjoys those advantages. I’m pondering what effects Trump’s agendas could do to many citizens that will affect me. Imagine a Trump administration canceling the media credentials of the major networks. It all seems unlikely but would we be surprised? We could see threats to the networks to not broadcast any criticisms of Trump.
I was hoping to get my Missouri house finished and sold before the election but it will be sometime next year. I’ll have anxiety about the housing market and the economy if Trump wins. If he does I doubt his bad ideas will have a huge effect until 2026.
No.
You're mis-interpreting, with the
false claim that I oppose preparation
for expected changes.

I have serious doubts that Trump, even if he wins, will last mentally until the inauguration. His dementia appears to be advancing at an increasing rate. Perhaps it is due to the strain of campaigning. He is regularly cancelling events. It was first just refusing to debate. Then he began to cancel on interviews that were not friendly. Now he has been even canceling pro-Trump events. He is saving his fading abilities for rallies and even those have periods of low energy rambling where he slurs his words and loses track of the point that he was trying to make.
A vote for Trump is in reality a vote for Vance.

Preparing for scenarios is a good idea and contrary to Trump's response to pandemic preparations that Trump thought were not worthwhile, but actually operating as if the worst case is occuring is not worthwhile, I think we all agree on this, we are just not quite saying it in the same way and just what are appropriate preparations. For example I am not going to buy Patriot Batteries with their AC recharger to protect against the Utility grid failing.

For Peter Thiel, his billionaire mentor and patron, it is. I think that Musk would prefer to keep Trump around, because Trump responds positively to bribes and flattery. I wouldn't be surprised if the Silicon Valley pro-Trumpers have it in mind to find a way to sideline Trump. Vance, at least, is less capricious, and he is just a poor boy with a few million dollars in wealth right now. He is someone they know. Trump is an outsider.
I don't plan to curb my spending just cuz
Trump plans to cut Social Security benefits.

I am cheap and could probably survive for the rest of my life without SS. Between my house and my modest portfolio I have enough for a comfortable though far from wealthy retirement. But since I paid in over my lifetime I am not about to reject the money that I get in SS.
So Trump screwing up SS might harm me. It would not threaten my existence.

If Trump's wackadoodle extremist economic policies manage to trigger a steep recession or depression, I doubt that many of us will make out well. Trump has even suggested a return to the gold standard, which is favored in Project 2025. He has flirted with the idea in the past.

And when did you work with him and properly access him?

I could, but his supporters see this incompetency as competency.

Do you think that it really takes a medical professional to spot that? I have worked with the elderly some of which we victims of dementia. Granted, they were all at a more advanced stage than Trump.
Same here.

It takes a proper accessment or all you have is what you see on TV. If you ask me it's not dementia but him just saying stuff amd making things up, like how we know for sure Vance is given his own admission.
