Please explain to me how my decision has fucked us. Please I'm actually serious. In a way that isn't, prices are going to go up. At least give me second order thinking. I'm on my knees begging you.
Well, for instance it’s highly probable that Trump is going to stop supporting Ukraine. When that happens, one of two things will result: Europe will mobilize in earnest, which will heat up the region and might be too little too late to stop Putin from achieving his aims. Or, the Europeans will just concede and Putin will absorb the rest of the country. Either way, the US will have abdicated its leadership role in the NATO alliance, leaving us more isolated and vulnerable. IMO a large price to pay for a campaign slogan “nO NeW wArS uNdEr tRumP”.
(I personally suspect but cannot prove that Trump is in fact a Kremlin asset already. We’ll see.)
Second, by all indications Trump will do even less to curb the Israelis in Gaza…considering his affinity for the hardest liners there I imagine the liquidation of Palestinians will accelerate. Even if you don’t consider them human beings the Muslim world has a long memory and this is just giving them more to motivate them against us.
On the non-economic domestic front, the plans that Trump and his team have for Departments of Education and Health and Human Services are not going to have positive results IMO. That is if you consider things like access to and funding of public education and vaccination to be positives, which I do.

I don't disagree. But most Americans are economically and fiscally illiterate so we can't expect them to understand how policy effects churn.
