If Trump wins another four years, I'm seriously going to consider leaving the country.
[stuff]

I'm thinking about it, too. I have dual citizenship so I could move to the UK if I wanted. The conservaitves here are just so goddamn stupid and selfish. they equate toxic masculinity with rugged individualism and act like wearing a mask is a liberal unconstitutional agenda and they're noble for refusing to wear one. I hate how backwards AMerican healthcare is and how our conservative-held government has been bungling such a critical response to a pandemic. I look at other countries' responses and it's night and day. And seeing so many morons tell me I don't deserve the right to marry or be protected from discriminatino in the workplace (and I know the UK has also got those people but still)

Another term of Trump would be disastrous not just for policies but also because it would mean another four years of time for his harmful views to permeate american culture. The social climate has changed drastically because people who share Trump's views have been emboldened. To the point where documented white supremacists are seeding their way into police forces (wtf?) Another four years would solidify this. Eight years is a lot of time for those opinions to take firm hold.

Just as bad, he's tarnishing american democracy. He treats his position so flippantly and is brazenly trying to cheat in the election whether by hiring foreign countries to manipulate the election/dig up dirt on his opponents by threatening to hold back support, or by abusing his presidential powers to limit who can vote. This should be UNTHINKABLE but he does it so brazenly that some people are starting to act like it's no big deal. On top of that there's the way he is just flat out rude and terrible to people, the awful things he's said about women and the ways he treats others; this is all being NORMALIZED and it's what kids growing up are seeing our president do. This is what they think of when they think of how an American president is. four more years means twice as long that he can normalize this behavior.

This is not even covering the shit policies he has changed and enacted in his term. four more years of bad decisions like giving industries permission to kill billions more wild birds per year, and appointing more awful old farts to positions of power who are only interested in inflating wealth for the people who are already wealthy.

Another term would be disastrous.

I just wish the UK hadn't stupidly left the EU.
