Most people are concerned about the impact on separation of powers, the Constitution, and our democracy. But there is much more to be worried about. Following is a partial list of consequences to the planet, the nation and its citizens as a result of the regime’s policies:

1. Increased debt and interest payments thereby mortgaging the future of the next generations as a result of tax cuts for the wealthy.
2. Increased inflation due to tariffs.
3. Increased political division and political violence.
4. Further weakening of institutions and norms.
5. Increased hunger and homelessness along with a widening of the wealth gap.
6. Massive decline in necessary workers for the food industry, construction and hospitality from deportations.
7. More bankruptcies of family farms resulting in further corporate consolidation of our food chain.
8. Increased vulnerability to terrorists and rogue nations as a result of the brain drain at the CIA and National Security Agency.
9. More political control of our nation by billionaires (deepening of the oligarchy).
10. Massive brain drain from cutting funds to universities and research.
11. Further consolidation of media and erosion of first amendment rights.
12. Weakening of public education furthering the wealth gap and brain drain.
13. Further erosion of separation of church and state.
14. Weakening or elimination of FEMA, NOAA and NWS resulting in lack of preparedness for extreme weather events.
15. Further accelerating the global climate crisis by increased use of fossil fuels, increased lumbering, oil drilling in national parks and erasing incentives for electric cars and other mitigation efforts.
16. Weakening of CDC and NIH resulting in lack of preparedness for another pandemic.

18. Increased health insurance rates as a result of forcing the uninsured into ERs because they can’t afford routine medical visits.
19. Undercutting citizen faith in vaccines making children more vulnerable to deadly disease.
20. Weakening of our nation’s stature around the globe making us a global bully and pariah as a result of tariffs along with ICE and its concentration camps.
21. Weakening of the arts by elimination of funding for the National Endowment for the Arts.
22. Increased racism and misogyny as a result of the attacks on DEI.
23. Overloading of the foster system by unwanted births due to denial of abortions.

Given the regime’s policies, these consequences are inevitable. Are they what you voted for?
