      Regardless of the potential dangers of a Trump term seeding disaffection with the system in a large part of society looks bad.

      But should we be regardless of potential dangers in order not to look bad? Is there any extent of danger that wld change ur mind?

          Yes, I would, but I don't see concrete reasons to believe that. Nuclear war may actually have been slightly more likely with HC.

          Then we have no difference of principles & it comes down to evaluation of consequences of each situation.

          Its not 'uphold the system regardless of consequences' but ' I don't think potential consequences warrant overthrowing the system'

          I'm aware of my own tendency to prioritise principles over consequences - eg, uphold liberalism even if it will destroy liberalism

          Republicans painted Obama as Hitler, he obviously wasn't. I think that to a degree democrats have done the same with Trump.

          I get it. I don't get why informed, intelligent, usually unbiased people like @GodDoesnt may believe this about Trump.

          While I do believe in anthropic climate change I doubt that Trump presidency alone is the key to get/avoid mass extinction.
