    If Trump wins there won’t be another millennia, shit there might not be one anyway with the way the corpos are running the world into the ground with no signs of stopping.

    I dunno. Europe, the US, and Canada wreaked havoc across the globe for 400+ years and ppl continue the gloss over it. I’m voting for anyone not Trump but to pretend a facist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.

    None of them ever fixed what happened and now we have Trump. Only difference between then and now is its going to actually affect white ppl.

      Who is doing this?

      Ah yes a lot of bad history happened so more bad history is simply meh and not a threat. You’re truly saying that a narcissistic dementia patient who dreams of being Putin with an out of control biased Supreme Court and full immunity is not a notable threat?

      pretend a facist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.

      This has never happened in US history and that is notable given what the US can accomplish these days (and consider it won’t just be the US when Trump teams up with his dictator lovers). You think it was bad before? Does it make you feel good to paint this threat as just more of the same?

      What a take, especially since this article is simply talking about how the ramifications will spread to generations, nobody is saying how this is THE greatest threat ever and anything else wasn’t shit.

      Who are you even responding to

    Naah, the rest of us will just do what we did last time he was in the WH. Ignore for the most part whatever nonsense he spouts, host him occasionally because after all he is the US President and we need to keep good relations with the US, and otherwise just get on with life while America inspects its own arsehole for four years, then breathe a sigh of relief when he leaves.

    Ukraine might be fucked though. Depends if Europe can step up to fill in for what no longer comes from across the pond.

      The article is mostly about his impact on climate change efforts. You can certainly ignore it if you want, because there’s a lot of anxiety to be had over it.

      He most definitely would screw up the little things we are trying to do, but I’m not convinced what we’re doing is nearly enough, so I suspect it won’t have the impact this article claims.

      The president 30 years ago was Bill Clinton and we all remember him, and he was far less controversial than Trump has been

        Yeah, I just took a look at a list, and I am not someone to know much about history, but even i knew the basics of most of them up until Lyndon B. Johnson. I only know the name but can’t really say I know much else outside what took place during that decade like NASA. And then after that it’s JFK, so I agree 30 years is to soon to forget. It’s more like 50 or more. For reference, I am in my 40’s so that probably helps.

        Who’s “we all”? 95% of this world doesn’t give a duck about US presidents.

          95% of the world is directly impacted by the leader of the largest economic and military power in the world, so whether or not you give a fuck is your own prerogative. But the fact remains that it is important to the context of your own politics, just as how the politics of Britain, the EU, China and India are all very important to the context of ours.

      We still remember many Presidents who were bad, but nowhere near his level. But remembering Trump wasn’t the point of “millennia”.
