This is spot on, Steve. And if elected, deranged Donald Trump, aided by the Project 2025 lunatics, the nutjob tech bros, and insatiable oligarchs, will not only destroy the United States of America (which is terrifying enough!) but will also threaten the survival of democracy across Europe and elsewhere, where already populist demagogues have seized power or are chomping at the bit to do so. A Trump victory will mean the destruction of NATO and international treaties and the emboldening of Putin, who will gobble up Ukraine and then look for his next "meal," endangering the entire European continent. A Trump victory might ignite a war with China. A Trump victory will certainly spell an end to all domestic and numerous international climate-change initiatives, which are hardly sufficient as it is, at a time when the biosphere's health is already dire. In short, Trump is a clear and present danger to the entire world, and we cannot not rewind the history tape to December 8, 1941, and have that magnificent United States of America and its allies save us.
