@Horace maybe end of the world is too strong but I believe (and happy to be prove wrong) that @Jolly and @Larry have said that the end of the US we know it will come if the Democrat is elected.
I said our nation as we know it will end. And it will. But that's not saying it will end period, it will go on at least for a while as a totalitarian hell hole until it ends up another Venezuela. You can go ahead and thank the democrat party for that.
Ah, you say that's silly.... tell that to the democrat "leaders" who have been saying that's exactly where they'll take us.

It’s been interesting watching them lower the bar to the point where they no longer even claim to have an view based on evidence. They now pretend to derive it from first principles.

That should not be surprising: though a thoroughly mediocre and ordinary D.C. swamp creature from the perspective of both ideology and competence, Tanden’s uniquely unhinged, venomous, corrupt and pathologically dishonest conduct as a Clinton Family and DNC apparatchik and President of the corporatist-and-despot-funded Center for American Progress (CAP) has earned her a list of enemies far longer and more impressive than her accomplishments.
Four days after the 2016 election, Tanden began strongly implying, if not outright stating, that Russian hackers changed the vote totals, and that this is why “Trump was as surprised as everyone else” by his victory. When I highlighted her conspiratorial claims, she did not deny their obvious meaning, but rationalized them by insisting that her conspiracies were not as bad as Trump’s refusal, in advance of the election, to acknowledge the legitimacy of an election that had not yet taken place:
