A Trump victory would be immediately impactful globally. Trump could give up the Ukrainians to Russia without much outside interference. Withdrawal from NATO would be momentous, but it’s hard to imagine the braintrust of the U.S. military (a conservative group in the traditional sense) rolling over so easily.
Domestically, power in the U.S. is far more dispersed than we like to imagine. At the federal level, power is distributed beteween the executive, the senate, and congress. More importantly, state governments affects most people in their day-to-day lives far more than federal. Is Trump going to take over school boards and hospitals in California and New Jersey?
Then there’s business. Trump has some billionaires in his pocket. Many more are against him - Democrats continue to out-strip the Republicans in fundraising by a wide margin.
