Hopefully (and I know kts just wishful thinking) a bunch of cunts in the White House and congress in prison, given that the midterms are a month or so away.

Hopefully the end. I'm tired.
Let's finish Sherman's work! Without conservatives existing, 2027 will bring us peace.
The prediction I've been making since he got reinstalled is that trump will be out of office one way or another by around March--sometime after the new Congress is sworn in. I should say IF it actually does get sworn in, which is not guaranteed whatsoever--repubs have a trick up their sleeves to use a technicality in the Constitution to refuse to seat them, and if they do, I don't trust SCOTUS to try and stop them or succeed even if they do try.
Others: Canada and the EU will become closer and both will continue to pull away from the US as well as US tech. They'll also start building their militaries up more. Russia/Ukraine and US/Iran wars will drag on. Climate change will continue to be unaddressed by anyone.
The AI bubble will probably burst in 2027 but it may take longer. The longer it takes the worse the economic effects will be.
On the positive side,
The collapse of the Untied States. Or transformation into a dictatorship. The rest of the world continuing to cut ties with the Untied States
The Bell Riots. Unfortunately that means we’re also on the wrong side of WW3 timeline wise but hey it’s progress right
oh I don't even want to think about it. I need some of that super fentanyl for my prepper bug out bag.
i hope nuclear war.
A new plague, more global warning, and more wealth disparity. Continue that every year for the foreseeable future.
The four horsemen is always the correct answer.
More pain and agony from fascists.
🙏
I'm hopeful that bad things happen to people in power. It probably won't happen, but I'm hopeful
A repeat of the 1930s in germany. Conservatives, being desperate to remain in power helping nazis gain power
Unaddressed population concern grow so much that it create a power vacuum that anyone can take ? Yeah it s already hapenning in the UE everywhere but I fail to see the link with nazi. But it s a good think that it will shake the oligarch etablissment
The Nazis are already in power. Have you heard Steven Miller speak?

Excuse me old chum but you need to hop on the US-centric train posthaste!
(/s in case necessary, but "silly" not "sarcastic")
Earth will level up and we will all awaken the use of mana. With this we will solve the fosil fuels crisis, solve world hunger, unite humanity, create wealth parity and AI will be obsolete. But we will have to sent our earthen warriors to represent us in a battle royal against alliens whose planets also leveled up. If our warriors do well, we will unlock even more mana, but if they do badly, we won't improve our mana capacities.
That or same as the past years, just everything a little bit shittier. I'm hoping for #1 for obvious reasons.
ah but you must be aware that the awakening of mana in humans will lead to wild animals awakening mana too. this in turn will cause most of the land on our planet to be overrun with beasts, while empowered birds and fish will make travel by boat/plane nearly impossible
Goblinization you say?
GPU prices down
RAM prices down
Home prices down

I’ve been waiting till midterm elections since at least January to start making predictions.
China invades Taiwan, oligarchs take more away from us, war in Europe.

The same since 2010. Stupid people in charge making stupid decisions in favour of the few with money.
Aliens. Fake alien invasion brought on by terminators who cause real aliens to come down and help us. It'll be Independence Day for a couple of months, then we'll transition to Star Trek, then eventually Star Wars by the end of the year
I had the thought recently, people have been wishing for the death of Donald Trump, imagine if the way it finally happens is a hostile alien race kills him on national television and then start massacring the rest of us. It's the only way people won't be happy to see him die
Fuck off, no way, it's 1998, 2027 is the distant dystopian future. 😭
Easily the worst "happy new years" glasses. It's been downhill since 2020 for those.
2030 will be good too, just not as good. Kinda like going back to eat a recipe you loved as a kid, only to realize that you had it all the time because you were poor
The tuna casserole of novelty sunglasses.
365 days.
We got ourselves an optimist over here!
Climate change-related deaths will go from the current millions to tens of millions
nothing good
Sorrow
In the US, midterms are just over a month away. New officeholders will take office early next year. As things stand, the Democrats are very probably going to take the House of Representatives and looking more likely than not to take the Senate. Either will give them the power to conduct investigations into Executive Branch activity. I would predict unprecedented use of this power. I'd bet that a lot of Trump administration figures are going to be spending most of the next two years sitting in front of Congress being grilled and with the Executive turning over information on its activities to Congress, some which will probably wind up in the press.
Democrats will take congress but they won't do anything with their power. They never have, why would it be any different this time?
I sure hope you're right; although I unfortunately don't expect things to go that way... I don't have much hope or faith left. :(
Let's pretend this isn't a sure thing and get out any vote assuming team red is going to come out in droves!
Best case scenario it will stop most of the damage, but with veto power from the white house, nothing will get fixed.
When you're bleeding out, the first step is to staunch the wound. You still have to do the other steps, but you gotta do the first step first.
Food crisis 😔
Disappointment?
In the US it depends on what happens in the midterms.
