Wrong. With the Supreme Court squarely in his corner, there's nothing stopping him from implementing much of Project 2025, including transforming government agencies into his personal lackey departments, cracking down on any media outlet he deems unfriendly to him, and assaulting democracy with voter suppression tactics and jailing his political opponents via sham charges.

In other words, if Trump gets back into power, you can fully expect America to rapidly look more and more like Russia or Hungary. Trump has met with Orban multiple times this year!

I don't know what I get with Harris. Former DA, Attourney General, low profile/sidelined as a VP. (contrast to Cheney, there was a VP who let you know what you were getting).

So, what does possibly 8 years of a Harris administration look like? That's what I'm waiting to find.
She's made it pretty clear. Protecting a woman's right to choose, fairer tax policy, background checks/red flag laws/assault weapons ban, strong border policy (she endorses the border bill that Trump blocked), more investments in green energy (while continuing to produce traditional energy), student loan forgiveness and replacing lead pipes, continue the fight to bring down prescription drug costs, protect SS/Medicare/Medicaid/ACA, make it easier for workers to form/join unions.

You keep saying "evasive interview" but don't say specifically which answers you didn't like, or what you wanted her to say instead.
