While certain things can be automated the robotics technology to fully replace humans is probably still decades away.

Mostly likely they will use prison slave labor, using the same immigrants.

Dictators love the poorly educated.

It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.

I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.

The worst I fear is still the issue of global warming, it’s already bad and the white house is locking in on releasing all the CO2 it can - and the entire globe will suffer for it.
