We got lucky on this one

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Lately, I’ve been thinking. I’ve been thinking about how fortunate this country was and is in overcoming the evil of the former guy. And I am thinking what the country could have looked like had he won a second term. Let us take a look at that.

Women would have been treated as substandard. The media would be under continued threat of cancellation or jail Minorities would most likely continue to live in even more fear than they currently do of the danger that permeated the city streets.

Pardons could have been issued to more pro-Trump criminals. Putin most likely would be a regular visitor at the White House. Russia would have been deemed our friend.

Children would be continually used as pawns in the former guy’s hateful and racist games. They might be still living in cages, having been ripped from the arms of their parents.

Gun laws would most likely have been loosened. Dreamers most likely been sent away from our great nation. Climate change would have been deemed a lie.

COVID would have killed many more. The insurrectionist and chief would have continued to lie about the number of deaths and the severity of the disease. Masks would be a thing of the past.

People would waste away in sadness as debt piled up and the evictions started. Unemployment benefits would have been canceled, most likely nationwide.

There would never have been another round of COVID relief. Marjorie Taylor Greene would be all-powerful.

Tweets of screaming rage would appear into the dark abyss. They would be endless.

Election meddling would be as usual as checking to see what time it was.

This is the future the former guy saw for all of us. This was the former guy’s America. And there are still so many who would prefer this version. But we did it. We slew the dragon. And we continue our work. So, let’s never stop fighting to keep our America.
