violent and fractured, the degree of balkanization dependent on who wins in november.
if kamala wins, trump’s most devout followers will treat this like the last stand and respond as if the world has ended. though his base numbers in the millions, even just a determined fraction of that amount is enough to cause widespread carnage if trump’s stochastic appeals to their aggrieved state succeeds. that’s what he’s attempting to do right now, by suggesting there will be bloodshed if he loses.
if trump wins, the semblance of a plural, multiracial democracy that we’ve lived under for decades will be effectively erased and replaced with a christofascist ethnostate that favors white cisgendered males of means and targets non-whites - especially black people - for economic starvation, social marginalization, and, ultimately, deportation or extermination.
no matter who wins, life will not be the same.
