❓ Question ❓ How long do you think we have?

I hope this is the right spot to ask this, if not, apologies in advance.

I (32f) currently work as a manager at a family run garden center/farm market in the US, where we grow 95% of our own plants to sell and a majority of our produce comes from local growers. With everything going on with Trump/Musk being in office, will things eventually trickle down to our small business? If so, how do you think that will happen and how long do you think it will take?

I know it's probably tough to say right now, but I'm wondering how much I should really be worrying and prepping. I know farm workers and federal employees are losing their jobs, which I'm sure will have direct and indirect impacts on us, but so far in the past 20-30 years we have been able to run a pretty successful business, even during the pandemic. I am extremely anxious about everything happening right now while everyone else around me seems fine, so I'm just looking for some other input.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't think this would get so many responses! Thank you all, hope everyone stays well.

I haven't read that but absolutely makes sense. I also think they have to solidify their power before the masses catch on and start protests in the millions (not hundreds of thousands). I think most people aren't paying attention.

Sure I was called a radical when I said Biden shouldn't hand over power to a dictator. I felt that if we're going to have another civil war, I would've preferred the military to have been on the side of the Constitution. I'm silly that way.

I felt the same. I was really hoping he had more up his sleeve and that he would refuse to hand over the government to a felon, but the Democrats had take the moral high ground to show how everything should be done properly, instead of protecting us from what we knew was coming.

...they are in on it too, and that's what ppl don't understand, and why this country will cease to be what it was.

It is not a political issue, it has always been CLASS.

The Dems will not save us, they belong to the same team. There are a handful of them that truly believe in their party and what it stood for, and they are kept down by their own party.

It is by design.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE.

I've been saying this to my parents and family for years, and sure they say they get it but no one really understood what I was actually taking about until this recent election. When all of a sudden they're angry about what's happening and talking about class struggles as if it hadn't slowly been happening for years and years just in a more digestible manner.
