A lot of people have been worried about Donald Trump but people should pay more attention to all the people around Trump now.
During his last term Trump had a lot of people around him who wasn't onboard with his agenda which put a break on many of his more radical ideas.
Now instead people around Trump are often more radical than he is and there is no shortage of people willing to help him implement radical changes.
Obviously Trump isn't reading the hundreds of executive orders he is signing. Instead he have people around him who he trusts and a lot of those people were involved with project 2025.
It does seem like Trump is trying to keep his promises which is not exactly what we hoped for but we also shouldn't be surprised when someone does something bad after promising they are going to do that bad thing after getting elected.
I do not get the impression that Trump is in a strong position. Sure he does have a lot of authority but that whole thing comes off as shaky.
While Trump has been good at getting people to vote for him he is not actually good when it comes to governance. Things will keep failing as he is governing (like they did last time) and he will simply blame others for those failures.
One issue the republicans have is that JD vance does not really have the same ability to make people vote for him as Trump does. We can however expect republicans to put effort into rigging the future elections so they will win anyway even if their candidate isn't very popular.
Trump is also pretty old so he will not be able to remain in power for much more than 4 years anyway (even if he becomes a dictator and start serving a third term).
Trumps talks about territorial expansionism should be taken seriously. Trump seems to think similar to me in that regard and so it's very likely he is going to annex new territory by force. You living outside the US does not mean you are safe if he goes full authoritarian.
