Following Trump’s election victory, many U.S. citizens are expressing deep concerns about the country’s future. For some, it even feels like a potential threat to the very fabric of U.S. democracy. Fears of authoritarian tendencies are driving some people to consider leaving the country, with worries that his presidency could mark a shift toward dictatorial rule or the erosion of democratic processes altogether—while others are hopeful that things will remain peaceful.
After his win, Trump announced plans for sweeping changes, including mass deportations and expanded oil drilling initiatives, which run counter to scientific advice and global climate efforts. We’ve seen this before—at the end of his first term, Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement. The repercussions of these moves extend beyond national borders, raising alarms among climate experts and international leaders alike.
Kamala Harris, fellow Democrats, and even some former Trump administration officials have warned that these policies could lead to severe economic and social upheaval and pose risks to global stability. They argue that a second Trump term could be more unpredictable and less restrained by traditional political boundaries. On Sunday, Trump himself acknowledged that his approach might be “a little nasty” at the start, but assured that the end results would be beneficial.
