If he doesn't though (probably not gonna happen, but still), we're all screwed. What would America even be by 2024? I don't think it will be the end of America in case he gets re-elected. But it will definitely be four more years of political stagnation, economical downpour, degrading international relations, social unrest (if it's not minorities, it will be firearms, or women, or workers) and just generally having to cope with him being an annoyance. If he wins it's game over for America as we know it. I mean the physical country will still exist, but everything America stands for, thing such as freedom, equality before the law, people that fight against a tyrannical government etc. will become stories that belong in the history books. It will be like the "Holy Roman Empire" after Augustus had already died. In the words of Voltaire, it was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire. Trump survived impeachment over using government apparatus to go after political opponents, he survived 110,000 people dying in a pandemic on his watch, he survived telling the army/police to kill his own people. If people can endorse all that, he can get away with anything.

I mean the physical country will still exist, but everything America stands for, the very soul of the country, thing such as freedom, equality before the law, people that fight against a tyrannical government etc. will become stories that belong in the history books.

If people can endorse all that, he can get away with anything. He could very well be America's first modern dictator. Many people are already calling him a dictator on Twitter.

If he is re-elected, Ruth Ginsburg is probably not going to survive his second term and he's going to replace her with Amy Barrett, a strongly anti-abortion, Christian nationalist judge. Once that happens, the religious right is going to play its hands. Abortion will be banned, marriage equality will be reversed, it's likely that Christian prayer and creationism will be taught in public schools, as well as many other things being imposed on the country that aren't popular with the majority outside of certain regions like the US South. Meanwhile, the US is going to start to face a backlash from the world community. The economy will probably become like Venezuela. I can definitely see this being what tears the country apart. California isn't going to be subjected to theocracy for instance. Blue states are going to have to band together to form their own 21st century nations while flyover country can become the fundamentalist Christian version of Saudi Arabia. The country stands the best chance at survival if Biden wins. Even if he does, we have to make it to January 2021. I think after that, assuming Biden is inaugurated without a mass uprising from Trump supporters, things will begin to slowly improve.

2020 has been no different for me since I social distance anyway. I would rather live in it than live in 1985 or 1969 (the worst years of my life).

Even if Trump did get re-elected, there’s no way forced Christian prayer and banning gay marriage would make it through. Christian prayer in school violates freedom of religion, and banning gay marriage would be unconstitutional. People thought Trump would ban gay marriage and yet it’s still here. And it’s never gonna go away no matter who’s president.
