It is significantly more likely that under a scenario wherein Trump pulls a coup, things are going to get DRAMATICALLY worse domestically for marginalized populations in America.
Especially Hispanic populations and trans women, like myself. I personally would greatly prefer to not be shoved in a concentration camp or shot in the street, even if destabilizing America would be best for the world at large.
I know you're probably going to say that both sides are the same, but at this point it's very obvious that Trump and company have their foot on the gas in a way the Democrats frankly never would. If we're talking an actual coup wherein rule of law is completely dissolved, then I am fucked, all of my loved ones are fucked, and we will die horrible deaths at a quite young age.
Hell, for many of us we wouldn't have even gotten the chance to be happy before that.
So yes, things would in fact be very different and that is an outcome worth avoiding if at all possible.
