2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

I am honestly scared and I don't think society (not just the US) would really survive if this turd becomes reelected a second time.
Vote. Get all your friends and family to vote. Four more years should buy us enough time while his power is waning.
If there was ever an election that was important to vote and be clear-eyed in, it's this one.
American exceptionalism is disgusting lol.
Very few people care who your little country chooses to lead it.
The US doesn't run the world, and is having less influence every year at this point. Society will pull through.
The US military's influence throughout the world is as strong as ever, and Trump is 100% on board with reducing its presence worldwide. I don't necessarily disagree with it, but global trade will take a massive hit out of the gate, not to mention the more obvious issues with Russia, Israel, etc. But hey, Trump has been critical of Israel lately.
I'm not saying it won't be a negative outcome. I'm saying society will survive.
I mean if you're gonna be technical, "society" will literally survive a nuclear exchange and total civilizational collapse. As long as there's more than one person and those people aren't killing each other (or even if they are), there's "society".
