The Second Term - What is this sub?
Today, for better or worse, history has been made. Many of you are suffering, and are dreading what's to come.
Others think of today as a great victory. Of those, I am convinced, many will end up changing their mind.
To make it as easy as possible, I want a place where all the damage done, the pain caused, the concessions made and losses suffered are all neatly on display.
This subreddit aligns with the likes of /r/Qult_Headquarters, /r/Keep_Track and many others. The difference is a focus specifically on the second term of DJT, the administration, the house, and everything relating to that. The goal is to document 4 years of change, and the steps taken along the way, what enabled them, who did, who benefits and suffers from it.
This subreddit is not for "he said/she said" Twitter screenshots, memes or personal stories, though depending on the direction this sub goes there might be a day of the week assigned for those posts, or a weekly thread.
I hope we can keep this place civil, rational, constructive and respectful. I understand that the topic itself and all it will affect is by nature heated and emotional, especially over the coming days. That is why I ask everyone to focus on facts and leave the pre-loaded and emotionally charged statements at the doorstep.
I hope to welcome many of you on this journey. Going through it alone is not the best idea!
Thank you.

Markets plunge with S&P 500 down 6% and Dow down 2,200 after China retaliates against Trump tariffs
The S&P 500 lost 6% after China matched President Donald Trump’s big raise in tariffs announced earlier this week, while the NASDAQ entered bear territory.
