I agree on all points.

But the most important thing is that people will die due to a Trump presidency. A small number will die because hate crimes are OK now, but a large number will die due to a total lack of healthcare and the scarcity of good health information.

It won't be Stalin-bad, but it is going to be 3rd world bad.

And we will have the "terminal generation". A generation of kids that are 0-2 years old when Trump takes the seat, and all children born during his administration, and for at least 5 year after. That's 11 years of kids, mostly poor, who will have terrible heathcare, and terrible health information, and their bodies and minds will be weak and damaged. That will be an enduring burden of care and monetary expense that the rest of us will carry for the rest of our lives.

See: Polio.

I was banned from /r/The_Donald for comparing Trump to Stalin's personality cult.
