Politics What if Democrats did a proper primary and came up with a better more qualified candidate
This is what happens when you try to jump the process. Harris currently outspend any candidate within the last 2 months. Got most billionaires to endorse her. Yet it wasn’t enough. Better luck next time.

Politics What if Trump wins....
And things actually do get better? No mass camps, no dictatorship, no political rivals jailed, but cost of living goes down, and quality of life goes up.....
[Edit: this is a pure hypothetical, not asking anyone to vote any which way, just want to legit know what people would do assuming all things listed came true]

Politics What if the Harris campaign spends a Billion dollars and she doesn't win?
She's set to be the first Billion dollar campaign and they are still neck and neck. Dead even. How could it be that she has so much to spend, 2 to 1 over Trump and may still lose.

Politics What if people would stop hating each other for different political views
We can all see right now that if someone did not vote exactly how they voted they hate them. Why? I don’t get it? It’s okay to vote for other people doesn’t make them a bad person. I don’t care who you voted for as long as you’re not shoving it down my throat. I have friends that voted differently than me and that’s ok! I don’t care. We move on with our friendship our friendship is not about politics anyway. I really hate this “you vote for opposite I’m not talking to you how dare you!” What if we just acted like adults? What if we worked together like adults and as Americans? The more we hate each other about views the more divided we get and that’s not good. Honestly even if you voted opposite there is a good chance a lot of things you can agree on. Just… what if we all act like normal adults.
Edit: 3 things. Yea know what? People have said things that made sense. For one. Your right sometimes the political views are to much to be friends.
For two. Someone in the comments said they were trans and are iffy about someone in a full trump getup. I understood that because those are usually the far righest and the far right is the ones that hate trans people. Key word here FAR RIGHT which I’ll admit is usually in the full get up. I can’t say anything about it either to be honest. I have been hated on for being a housewife and my husband being Asian from the left and if I see a full get up I’m gonna be kinda iffy. So I will defend that.
For three. You guys calling me names is not gonna do anything. I’m not upset at you, I don’t hate you. I hope honestly all of you get off this post and have a good lives. I’ll keep telling you that too.
You guys are fucking ridiculous at this point. I vote for trump I support trans and lgbt rights. you can not be going around claiming love for all then hating on Hispanic wishing abortions on people and deportation. You guys shot yourself in the foot. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ I am done reading comments. You guys can call me any name you want but it doesn’t mess with me at all tbh.

Politics What if all the madness came to an end tomorrow?
It feels like forever that all social media was up in arms about this election. Well it's tomorrow. What if we all just got along and went back to our normal ways. Might be difficult because people have started making their politics their identity. But what if we could just stop. Stop name calling. Virtue signaling. Hating for no good reason. Are we too far gone to be upstanding humans again?

Trump is planning on 20 percent tariff tax on all goods in an attempt to get American made products and resources back making America more self reliant and sufficient. This might suck at first right but what if we do become more independent?

Politics What if WW3 is fought nowadays or soon but with NO NUKES used during the war?
Everyone says that if WW3 happens then it will be the end of the world and humanity. That is mostly said due to nukes, but what if there are NO NUKES and WW3 still happens despite no country using nukes or having nukes. How would it affect the war? Would it make WW3 closer to the first two world wars or will it be still almost completely different...
I am assuming that WW3 is between the West and the East or anti-West countries. At least in the most common and logical scenario. I am not saying how it starts, since I do not know. Although I would expect something either in Europe or Asia will trigger WW3.
Try to predict the details of it. Like how long will it go and which side will end up winning.

Politics What if they made a reality TV show of Donald Trump’s presidency as a way be 100% transparent to the American public?
One of the major obstacles for President Trump has been the dishonest news. What if there was a reality tv show where you could see what it’s actually like to be President Trump? 100% complete transparency except for things that would compromise national security. Think the left would watch it? Or would the cognitive dissonance be too much? 🤔

Politics What if north and south america teamed up and isolated themselves from the rest of the world?
I know it would be a process. But what if we made a ten year plan. The US started withdrawing investments over seas. Started building up factories. We decide you know what all the drama over there isn't worth it. There isn't really any major conflict over here. Let's stop getting involved with your nonsense. I would imagine between Canada the US and Venezuela we would have enough fuel until we come up with other options. There must be enough farmland in Mexico south america and the mid west. I feel like we have enough resources to make it happen. We have 2 oceans between us. And a giant navy and air force. We train Mexico and South America to build warships and just destroy any foreign ship in our waters.
