I think the Left is most worried Trump will do lasting damage to the federal institutions they have worked for decades to derange and weaponize against any opposition to the Democrat party or Woke Gaia Worshiping ideology.
They are worried Trump will initiate massive purges of the DOJ, CIA, FBI (maybe this is deemed so toxic he outright abolishes it), the National Archives, the CDC, the State Department the EPA, DOD, other intel agencies and several other federal agencies. They’ve all shown massive corruption.
They are worried he will support efforts by multiple state attorney’s general to bust up Big Tech.
They are worried he will do things that benefit the working and middle class - like imposing tariffs on Chinese goods, boosting domestic manufacturing, securing the border, deporting tens of millions of illegal aliens, scrapping all the Gaia Worshiping regulations that hinder energy production and domestic business - but which benefit wealthy Democrat donors.
I hope every single last one of their fears is 100% justified and he does exactly those things.....to the nth degree.

At only about 2% of the population and with heavy concentrations in states that are not close (NY, FL, CA) it is not the votes of Jewish Americans that matters. Its their money. They provide a staggering half of all donations to Democrats. If they were to largely close their wallets to Democrats, that would be very damaging.

Yes, Drones are clearly the way war is going. We need to develop good/sophisticated ones as well as cheap ones that can resist jamming and master swarm attacks.

We’ve seen from this conflict that a lot of our defense budget is being wasted. We blow huge amounts on DEI programs, fancy gold plated weapons systems that ain’t all that when the shooting starts and doubtless other boondoggles.
Meanwhile we lack jamming, hypersonic missiles, surge capacity (shocking that Russia is easily outproducing the entire west in artillery shells, anti-tank missiles, etc etc, and we don’t have anywhere near enough frigates and destroyers in the navy.
We need to massively reallocate resources toward plugging these gaps and others like chip production, rare earths, electronics components, shipyards, etc. That will mean a lot of contractors need to be thrown out of their jobs and a lot of companies that produce weapons need to make the less sexy, less glamorous and no doubt lower margin meat and potatoes things that win actual wars against peer competitors.
