      Worse. His policies would effectively nuke a lot of the global climate progress we’ve made and set the world back decades—as if we have the time to waste.

          I genuinely doubt he would order a nuke strike. There would be far too much economical backlash from it.

            Maybe… war is extremely profitable to those manufacturing the weapons and material. So long as infrastructure doesn’t get destroyed.

            I could see drumpf “accidentally” giving Ukraine a nuke “for deterrent”, and then when Putin nukes and Ukraine retaliates… yeah not good, but I could see that as a real possibility due to Drumpfs idiocy

      My passport has a few years on it… I’ve started to work on foreign worker permits in the case he is re-elected so I can start setting up a life outside the US.

        unfortunately, trump is not a cause of the problem - he is just a symptom of bigger underlying problem in society, which is manifesting itself all over the world. so your passport is really not a solution, at least not long term one.

          Yes, but you see mice don’t just stay where they are when the ship is sinking. They flee to the higher ground, even though the entire ship is doomed.

      People have been saying that about every presidential candidate for as long as I can remember. Both parties say that about the other. I’ve long ago figured out we are not that fragile.

        That’s because long ago America was in fighting shape against internal threats to democracy. Mike Tyson hit on the jaw isn’t going down the first, second, or even 10th time. But each punch wears down Tyson’s form, so too do the unconstitutional attacks against America. Trump’s administration made America stumble on the edge of the ring, holding onto our institutions like the only ropes between us and losing.

        A hit like that again will knock America out cold. Guaranteed.
