I will argue that doom is the proper word. Put the politics into an equation bentway. Trump is going to be able to name three or four sociopaths to the Supreme Court. So the Supreme Court will be controlled not just by the extreme right wing like we've had for the last several decades, but even further right and even more sociopathic, for the next 30 or 40 years. So they will back up Trumps hegemony. I would call that doom. Trump has also appointed virtually every single cabinet head as a person diametrically opposed to the functioning of those cabinets. He appointed those people to destroy those departments. 100 years of progress down the drain. I see that as doom. And pervasive poverty to follow. And Trump and the Republicans not only want to overturn Obamacare as their first piece of legislation, but also turn Medicare into a voucher system, and turned social security over to Wall Street and I think they have the votes. I call that doom. Remember it was Ronald Reagan, that started the decline in the middle class when he made huge tax cuts for the rich, reduced rates from 70% to 28% and at the same time increased taxes on the working and poor by taxing Social Security. He also started crushing the unions. This is the type of thing Trump will do in spades. This new right wing power set up we have now in America has more power to destroy the country than at any time in 100 years and they plan to rape this country. They already have plans to go into pristine ANWARE and start drilling for oil and you can expect that in all of our national parks, they will start cutting down our national forests and repealing seriously important regulations. And then there will be the constant threat of not only nuclear war, but God knows how many wars Trump will start with his bellicose nature. I'm not saying everybody will die, but I think the damage that Trumps four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will do to this country and the world can be considered doom.
