Its more of a split. Most of them don’t care, but a significant minority is losing their mind over the Epstein release refusal. This isn’t even really because Trump’s a Pedo though. Its because it’s directly clashing with the Q-Anon prophecy shit. These people are loyal to an unhinged conspiracy theory before Trump.
If Trump married an 8 year old girl while in office, most of the crazier Q-Anon people who are currently freaking out about Epstein would be fine with that because its not about pedophilia or rape, that was just the window dressing. From their perspective its whether a demonic jewish cabal of child blood drinkers is going to finally be taken down. Trump is shattering their delusional hopes. The cognitive dissonance is the biggest issue.
I don’t think really that a majority of the population is going to die. I do think significant numbers of deaths will happen around the equator at some point in the near future and spark a functionally unstoppable wave of immigration towards the earth’s poles. This will result in its own strife but again will only cause a small percentage of more of the population to die.
Thing’s will eventually stabilize as human civilization adapts and green energy and carbon capture take off. Most of the population will survive but almost everyone’s QoL will be NOTABLY worse by various conventional metrics. Though likely better in specific ways due to certain medical and automation advancements.
Expect birthrates to continue to drop globally however and the earth’s eco system will drastically change and become much less healthy. Most of existing humanity will cling to life though.
