The current voting body has never experienced war, civil or otherwise. We have lived in peace and relative prosperity. So we cannot fathom how bad things can get when we elect the nuclear option.
It’s okay; we will learn our history lesson as the previous generations did, the hard way.

His base is basically the left hand side of the IQ curve and a smattering of ultra rich who don't care about costs of living. His base will be easily persuaded that whatever calamity bestows them it's the fault of Canada/China/Liberals/LGBT or whatever the fuck is the scapegoat du jour.
And one of his first acts is to engage in a pointless trade was that will unilaterally raise prices. And that action was clearly telegraphed during his campaign - he said again and again that he would do exactly this.
Absolute own goal from all those who voted for Trump because they bought the lie that he would fix prices.
