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?

James spoke of apocalyptic scenario. If u knew now a Trump presidency wld result in nuclear war or climate change mass extinction?

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

You have to be relatively certain of imminent doom to undermine the system, otherwise you'd set a dangerous precedent.
