We know that Ukraine will be betrayed by the Trump government. A Russian victory will embolden Russia to further threaten Europe. This will also embolden China and other authoritarian states.

We also know a Trump government will stop climate action. Unfortunately, this will also signal to many other governments that they can do the same.

We also know that immense cruelties will be perpetrated such as the family separation policy of the 1st Trump presidency

But yes, if you are white, straight and middle class or rich, you'll be able to think all is OK until such time as the authoritarian ascendancy led by China and Russia affects your own life, which might be a decade or more away.
