What happens in November doesn't just affect the U.S It affects the entire world.
NATO is the only thing keeping Russia from starting another world war. They've already taken Crimea, they're gunning for the rest of Ukraine, and they won't stop there unless NATO stands up to them. Trump wants to pull out of NATO. It can't stand up to Russia without the U.S.
2) Fascists use war as a tactic. A fascist U.S. isn't just going to oppress Americans; it will start wars with other countries.

This is just utter bollocks.

"Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warned police chiefs of a "growing consensus that mob rule is replacing democratic rule".

...He wants more robust police responses that he says are needed to protect politicians and democratic processes.

Now police bosses have been summoned to Downing Street, where the PM urged them to use existing powers to crack down on intimidation, disruption and subversion "urgently"."

“There are no more words to speak about what’s going on in Gaza. There are no more laws to break. No more appeals… The hypocrisy is obvious. Our collective [humanity] has failed. Human rights have a skin colour and the darker you are the less human rights you have. [They have tried to silence us], they have tried to make us look like antisemites…all of that to make it possible to kill more Palestinians.”

– Abir Al-Sahlani MEP
