The real existential risk is unclear result of elections and civil war in US.
It was real if Trump didn’t win—he blackmailed not concede if lost. It still could happen in case of electoral college mess or callexit or protests go to far.
Such civil war would mean end of technological progress, or at least most beneficial part of it, like friendly AI research. Such civil war would have basically the same sides as 1861, geographically and in values.
I want to tell also if I were able to vote, I would vote against Trump, so my point was not to support Trump. My point is to help him to make his presidency be short and boring 4 years. Obama wants basically the same.
