In The New Yorker I read about a class taught at the University of Chicago called "Are We Doomed." The subjects were nuclear weapons and runaway AI, not Donald Trump. But we are faced with Trump. What if he wins? Many Americans will react badly to Fascism.
According to a recent poll (?) Trump has been gaining lately and now commands 48% of the voters. It isn't Trump who might doom us, though. He's just flab with dementia and three personality disorders. Our Stone Age kin who love him are the problem.
If Trump is elected, the saner half of the country won't accept him or his posse. The fight will be on.
We can expect the economy to collapse--even decent Republicans bring on recessions. Eleven of the last twelve recessions happened under Republican presidents and their dangerous economic beliefs.
President Trump will do everything wrong, and then the conflict to restore democracy may last 30 years.
