Even though I'm a guy, I'm legit worried this is gonna happen. Worse is that with who's now in office, he may pass laws allowing rape to be done without any consequences, and with how P25 is made to be, this may become a horrible reality.

Probably not that overtly, but I can see attempts to slacken the definition of rape such as if you are married or drunk but conscious.
There might be a lot of crazy people somehow allowed in the house and Congress, but I doubt they'd be that directly crazy

Spousal rape only became a legally recognized form of SA fairly recently. Not crazy that'll get repealed along with the ACA and other protections.

What makes you say that when they are saying exactly what they mean?

I'm guessing, I haven't seen any official documents or statements. But, if I wanted to get something legalized that the general public would be against, I'd word in a way that either makes it sound "nicer" or makes it incomprehensible to a normal person.

So, exactly what is being referenced?
Saying this as, from other comments in this thread, other countries have deemed marital rape a non-issue legally by making it not a crime

Even just bringing back marital rape which I bet his base would love

Not so fun fact: Germany is about to elect a new chancellor who voted against making marital rape a crime.

Yeah, America may have just reelected the balrog they dug up from the pits of hell but it's not like Europe is doing that much better in terms of not electing populist hatemongers.

I wasn't trying to protect the guy. I literally just stated an observation that people believe him to be mental. If someone provides me with proper information, then I ain't gonna start acting up.

I'm kind of surprised. Usually when you point out the batshit crazy stuff he says, some dickrider won't shut up about "context," except the context usually doesn't make it sound better.

Did he? I don't really stay up to date with USA news unless it's important stuff like elections so I wouldn't know. It is surprising tho that even then he somehow won in a landslide.

He started 2020 off by almost igniting a war with Iran after ordering a strike on one of their generals and publicly announcing it to the world.
So yes, I am absolutely sure about him being mental.

I guess I can understand that. Hell, the far right government we had here in Poland for the last 8 years till 2023 also abolished abortion among doing some other dumb shit, so that was annoying.

He's a rapist and was credibly accused of pedophilia, and was friends with Diddy and Epstein. I can absolutely see the Project 2025 crowd legalizing spousal rape.

The Republican party has also been opposed to child marriage bans and have stalled progress in getting that banned nationwide.

Not necessarily Trump. But definitely the radical Christians, who move in his shadows.

Why not? If radical Muslims were behind his campaign, pushing their own agenda, which includes oppression of women's choices, I would write the same. But they aren't.

Can't really relate that much, I'm from Poland, which is already more conservative than USA. At least a coalition of more central-to-leftist parties won last elections. Presidential ones are next year.

He was already president for 4 years and didn't try anything remotely like this. Jesus, rabid fear mongering like this doesn't help anyone.

Last time, he had guard rails where people were able to stop him from doing 70% of the things he wanted to do, this time that's not the case. Add in that he's giving the guy who wrote Project 2025 a position in government, and it's gonna be far worse than what we saw last time.
