The Real, Existential Issues

Added on by Chris Saad.

His misogyny, bigotry, intolerance for the LGBT community and his conspiracy theories about climate change etc, while disgusting and deplorable, are actually kind of irrelevant over the long term. They are distasteful but not dangerous to American democracy and the world.

The real, existential issues - issues that will spin the world off its axis - are his willingness to undermine democratic institutions and core principles like fact-based decision making (an informed electorate), the legitimacy of free media, respecting the results of the election, religious tests, torture, war crimes etc.

We seem to have mainly forgotten all that stuff.
