Trump won. Unbelievable as that is, he won by a lot. There is a sense of dread, hopelessness and fear. There is an overwhelming feeling of loss. And it's just the beginning. It is the beginning of an uncivil war.
Although I am glad to be living in Ireland, I know that it will have far-reaching implications. If Clarence Thomas and John Roberts retire during Trump's term, he will appoint young far-right justices that will set the legal framework for a lifetime of right-wing decisions. He's got a majority in the Senate and heading towards a majority in the House. He'll have free reign.
And JD Vance is 38 years his junior and an author of the Project 2025 framework. God help America.
Elon Musk as a government advisor, keeping tabs on everyone via StarLink. JFK Jr banning vaccines. Tariffs on Chinese goods. Ukraine forced to cede territory.
This is not just four years and it's over. This is just the beginning.
I knew I had a sense of disquiet living in America. I didn't know it would come to this.
We'll see what's next. Perhaps justice and civility will prevail.
