In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future

    As someone living in the UK, I almost want him to get in to see what happens. The planet is fucked anyway, so why not go out with a bang?

        It was a joke, but never mind. Probably should have added a /s to avoid confusing those who like getting angry at people.

      I’m in the UK and I’m pretty certain if trump wins and fulfils his promise of pulling the US out of NATO, the world will be going to war, and don’t think for a second that the US will be on our side.

      Cause it can always get worse???

      Just spitballing here, but oxygenated cooled buildings for the rich, middle class subscribe for oxygen bottles while they are awake, lower class literally unable to think straight.

      If you’re talking nuclear war, then there’s going to be another population bottleneck in human history. Not like we haven’t gotten past 6 already.

      Like Colonel Sanders in the matrix says: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.

      Dying slowly from radiation sickness may be your way to go out, but I’d prefer something a little less horrific.

      This was a reasonable 2016 viewpoint. I’d prefer not to hasten my country’s descent into an authoritarian nightmare, please.

        This absolutely was NOT a reasonable viewpoint in 2016. He’s been clear about who and what he was going back to the 80s, at least.

      You guys are completely fucked if trump wins. There is still some hope with a tepid democrat in office.
