[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I can live with the socialism of Francois Mitterand, Shimon Peres, and Willie Brandt.

[JHB]

One word that puts so many other words on that list.

[WhiteTara]

4. propaganda

[UniteFightBack]

11. +1000

[Midnightwalk]

6. We might survive trump

Even if democracy in the us doesn’t. Climate change is the existential threat. We can’t do enough about with republicans in power but I’m not sure we can do enough in any case. Mass migrations will cause mass conflicts. No country is immune.

7. Trump encompasses all of those threats.

Climate change is the biggest underlying threat, but Trump is standing in the way of trying to do anything about it. He either causes or encourages the things that make our lives worse.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Inequality is at the root of all those problems...

and is the bulwark of defense against correcting them.

[GoCubsGo]

14. That and ignorance.

Especially willful ignorance.

[Mendocino]

9. The new dark ages

[lpbk2713]

10. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

The other problems are magnified from his ineptitude.
A real president would try to make a positive effort.

[Demovictory9]

12. Trump is a facilitator for most of the other poll items

[smirkymonkey]

13. +1000

He is actively making every single one of those things worse, along with the rest of his enabling republican cowards.

[GemDigger]

15. The entire GOP. nt

[Polybius]

16. By far climate change

Trump is guaranteed to be gone after 2020 or 2024. Climate change will not.

[lame54]

17. Trump is a combo of all the other choices

18. "Greatest and most imminent threat" would be severe economic collapse.

Many economists are suggesting a combination of factors currently have us sitting on the verge of a deep recession. The collapse of the U.S. dollar would lead to unimaginable suffering here.

The other thing that comes to mind is a rogue, significant nuclear event which could come from several sources and likely would trigger a severe global economic downturn and possibly a world war.

The greatest non-imminent threats are climate change and the massive global economic inequality that currently OWNS the GOP and other right-wing political groups around the world. Both of those appear to be non-reversible trends.

Other than that, running out of coffee would top my list........
