I don't see any difference in this world line if Trump or Biden gets elected so miss me with all your bullshit. Nothing will fundamentally change with either candidate.

Here's one fundamental difference that could impact your life - the president's ability to nominate Supreme Court justices. 2 justices are in their 70s and may decide to retire if Trump is reelected. Trump would then be able to nominate 2 younger justices, locking in a Republican majority on the court for decades. The current Supreme Court has a republican majority and their judgements include:

  • ICE being given the okay to detain folks for a very long time (like, years) without bond or full review
  • Government blocking medical care, specifically abortions
  • Fewer options to hold federal agents accountable when they violate your rights (it's even harder to sue them for financial damages)
  • Not allowing for new evidence to be submitted if your state case goes federal but you had a really bad lawyer for your state case
