I think you are making a great assessment and that is what fears me. I don't think your words are pretty useful on HackerNews folks in general.
My thoughts as a Swede is that I don't actually give a fuck if your president is a turd. His view on immigrations doesn't scare me, his view on NATO doesn't really scare me.
Trump say he is going to invest in fossile fuels THAT scares me A LOT.
The future already looks super dark and leaders like Obama shed a tiny light on that things would turn out for the better. But now when two of the worlds largest countries doesn't really care (USA and Russia) I mean wtf. It doesn't matter what the rest of the world does if these two giants will fuck it up anyway.
Time to be a climate prepper.

Yeah of course China is the greater polluter but I am mainly speaking of nations that don't believe in climate change and still is one of the massive polluters. China is changing rapidly to solar and there are mass demonstrations and a great physical need for them to switch. Today, there isn't really such a broad held opinion in the US or in Russia.
