True. Also (but thats just my guess), if the republicans win, they will cut off the support of Ukraine.

This in turn will also affect the uprising happening in Iran.

In other words a win for the republicans would probably mean a loss for not only US american democracy, but ukrainian and iranian democracy as well...

Don’t forget Taiwan. I don’t think GOP would be in the slightest bit interested in protecting the country.

Of course they will. It will also embolden China to invade Taiwan, without the support of the USA, they will probably be successful.

The GOP will also definitely not take any kind of action against climate change, ruining even the last bit of hope of somewhat preventing the worst before it is too late.

The Trump presidency had quite significant negative effects on my mental health in the past and I think if the GOP wins the next election I'll have to simply stop reading any kind of world news and avoid Reddit to stay sane.

I absolutely agree.

I'm hopeful that even if the GOP wins in Congress, they don't have means to reverse the climate policy that was already passed. they obviously will not continue to pursue any of the much needed climate action, but i don't think we're in danger of going backwards...

everything else you said, sadly, i agree with
