Well, friends, here we are again. Just when you thought it was safe to put your political anxiety on hold, Donald J. Trump is expected to return to the White House, ready to claim the title of 47th president.

According to the Associated Press and Edison Research, Trump achieved what many thought impossible in this election against the vice president. Kamala Harris. The battleground states – North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada – were all up for grabs, but Wisconsin was the icing on the cake, pushing it over the threshold with 276 electoral votes.

It’s a wild ride, considering Trump’s last term ended in chaos, impeachment, and a whole lot of legal drama. Four years later, he’s back, wearing a smirk and ready to take on the political landscape once again. At this point, he is not only the oldest sitting president; he will also be the second to win a non-consecutive term. Talk about a comeback story, but not the kind that leaves you all warm inside.

As for Kamala Harris? His campaign has remained eerily silent since the news broke. Once hopeful, Harris’ campaign now resembles a deflated balloon: What could have been a beacon of change has turned into a clear reminder of the difficult battle for democracy in this country. The dream of a more stable and reasonable political environment seems to have vanished overnight.

Oh, and let’s not forget the political landscape Trump is returning to. With an ultraconservative majority on the Supreme Court and strong Republicans in the Senate and likely the House, it appears we are bracing for another round of political shocks and fierce conflicts. Polarization isn’t going away anytime soon, my friends. If anything, it’s about to intensify, and we’re all along for the ride.

So…we stare down the barrel of another Trump presidency, filled with a mixture of disbelief and resignation. It’s not just a defeat; This is a warning signal with serious consequences that we cannot ignore.

The state of American politics seems more fragile than ever, and as we prepare for what’s next, it’s hard not to feel a little disappointed. Get ready, because it looks like the next four years will be anything but boring.
