On Nov. 5 2024, Donald Trump won the presidential election, only the second president in US history to win two non-consecutive terms. While not a landslide, the election result was surprisingly clear, giving Trump both a mandate and the congressional majority to govern and enact sweeping change.
Trump’s second term is likely to be more radical than his first, especially given his often dark, vengeful rhetoric during the campaign. What does this mean for America and the world? What are Trump’s likely priorities? Are democracy and the rule of law in danger in the United States, long the champion of democratic values in the world? And what about the Democratic party, which severely underestimated the disenchantment of not only white working class voters with the status quo?
This talk will examine the potential consequences of Trump’s second term, both within the United States and worldwide. As usual, satirical cartoons and videos will provide comic relief on these often dark and serious issues.
