Such a fucked up situation. I like to imagine that another timeline had him become president and our government pivoted to seriously focusing more on combating climate change and pressuring the rest of the world to step up. It's not an amazing timeline, but it's one where the world isn't facing imminent collapse of countless ecosystems and fascism didn't take over the US.

Not to mention we would have lost so many fewer lives to Man-bear-pig

This is very true. RIP man-bear-pig victims.

Plus you'd get to poop just by thinking about it.
