Trump and his followers are anti-science. If he wins, it will significantly increase the risk of the collapse of human civilization. Not directly of course, but rapid climate change is definitely an existential threat to human civilization, and anti-science politicians are leading the charge to prevent any remediation. How long can humanity continue to ignore the evidence?
And without (maybe) realising it he will pave the way for another countries to become the major players. Just imagine the US dollar suddenly loosing its credibility or markets steering clear of the country entirely and all because its president can’t see the future beyond his “luxurious golden hair”!
These are people who didn’t believe COVID was real or dangerous while it was killing people in their community en masse. Why would they believe in something a lot less acute and a lot less directly observable in their community?
