If Clinton wins, she’ll be the last president of her kind — pseudo-centrist neoliberal conservative Boomer coddler.

She won’t get a second term.

If Trump wins, he’ll be the first president of his type, since it is not credible that the US elect someone like Sanders when climate change and its associated dislocation begin to take their toll. The US, with no counterbalance like the former Soviet Union, will not lurch leftward.

No, it’ll be demagoguery and tyranny. Trump is the first exponent of this but will not be the last.

And the sad thing is, the US has a much better future under climate change than most other countries and regions. Europe will be destroyed by refugee crises and increasing Islamicization and radicalism on both sides resulting therefrom.

Africa will be little better. Most of Asia will starve.

The US will be better off, but not great. But even with a demagogue or two we won’t have the extreme refugee crisis of millions of people with Western-averse values overrunning public institutions and politics in general. We won’t starve. If worse comes to worst, we’ll take Canada and it’ll become the new breadbasket of the world due to plentiful water and the effects of climate change. (Oh, think that can’t happen? LOL OK then.)

But the world in the next 50 years will not be one of moderation, in climate or in politics. No matter what Clinton does (win or lose), she is the swan song of the status quo.

Wish that were a good thing.
