    Do you think that if the Trumpist (for lack of a better word) movement overthrows our liberal government that the US will tread on the rest of the world less than it already does?

    Best case scenario, we will fuck with the rest of the world just as much as we always had, and life in America will become drastically worse for any members of minority/marginalized communities.

        Our current government is having its own crisis of legitimacy already, because it is so bad at governing. Don’t think that some sort of right wing populist movement couldn’t legitimize itself just by being evil competently.

        I know bringing up the Nazis is cliche, but they replaced a bourgeois liberal democracy, and it didn’t take them long at all to be in a position to exert terrible power on the world stage.
