How fucked is the world if Trump wins?
I'm not so sure about crashing stock markets. Maybe short term dips in particular industries that fear his outsourcing tax. I think it's more likely that the market will be glad that the election is over with, and reflect that certainty as such.
All signs are pointing to a depression within the next couple of years anyway, so I'm not sure it would even matter at this point.
The uncertainty about the election will be replaced with the certainty that the president is an erratic moron with no knowledge of public policy nor any inclination to listen to people who have such knowledge.I'm not so sure about crashing stock markets.

For those curious how 538's model plays out, it's looking pretty good, and we haven't even had any post-FBI-clearance polling:

I read it as thisyou know things are bad if that counts as "pretty good".
I'm from Australia so I really don't know what I am doing, but thought i'd chip in anyway:
You say after brexit and the surge of the right wing in EuropeI tried.
I don't understand you Americans. Trying to imagine anything other than this in any other country.
They wouldn't actually do this because they need trump voters to vote for themrepublicans immediately move to impeach and remove him and prop up their (controllable) snake oil bigot bitch boy mike pence
this seems like the safest bet to me right now...
hopefully McMuff and Lebron/OH flip to drop Trump below 200.
My dream scenario is not a Drumpf blowout, but a narrow victory where the Democrats win the swing states with high latino populations, but he still wins because of white labor Democrats in the midwest completely rejecting Hillary Clinton.
I think that outcome sends the best message.
The message that a racist xenophobic etc. etc. fascist dictator in the making is the wet-dream of shitbags? Everyone already knows this.
I think you guys are going about this all wrong, you can't look at polls or early voting or reason. This is 2016. 2016 is weird and fucked up.

I've come from the darkest timeline future
Romney lost 332 to 206. Even if this election is closer, I'll be surprised if Clinton wins 279 to 259.For those curious how 538's model plays out, it's looking pretty good, and we haven't even had any post-FBI-clearance polling:

538 has a 78% chance of Hillary winning Michigan. Don't sweat it. It's not even a battleground, but it's the only way Trump wins in those maps.These scare me, because I can believe this happening.
