Regardless of who wins, the mess has barely begun. Donald Trump brought up WWIII yesterday for a reason: he tilted international politics towards nationalism and militarism. In just 4 years, he managed to embolden Russia, piss off Iran, and encouraged China to become more hardline. Even if he loses, the damage is done.
There is a solid chance we see global conflict on a terrifying scale within the next 4 years, in small part thanks to that psychopath winning in 2016. The liberal world order deserves much of the blame, but Trump definitely accelerated things.
