The primaries are all but over, and the general election is in full swing. That means you should get used to seeing a certain orange hobgoblin on every screen you have for at least until November. Approximately half of the articles plastered across said screen will be about how crazy/unprecedented/out of nowhere Trump’s nomination was. And that sentiment certainly does have some appeal to those of us who feel like we’re watching a sentient newspaper tabloid come within inches of the presidency.

But Trump’s rise is far from unprecedented. Nativist, race-baiting cartoon characters have achieved political success in the past. So in a limited fashion, we can predict how a Republican victory would play out. Here are just two examples of what America could be getting itself into.

Silvio Burlesconi

Silvio Berlusconi was Italy’s longest-serving prime minister, a position he held three times from 1994 to 2011. Before his career in politics, he amassed his wealth by starting Italy’s first commercial television station. He ran under promises of tax cuts and nationalist platitudes (the name of his first party translates to “Go Italy!”). He became known for his ego and over-the-top language.

Here’s a quote: "I don't need to go into office for the power. I have houses all over the world, stupendous boats... beautiful airplanes, a beautiful wife, a beautiful family... I am making a sacrifice.” Here’s another... said when speaking at a youth rally: “Women are lining up to marry me. Legend has it, I know how to do it." Who does that sound like?

His entire career has been speckled with charges of corruption. He was in and out of sex scandals, including one with an underage girl. Italy floundered under his leadership during the Eurozone debt crisis. And after he resigned, he was sentenced to prison for tax fraud.

Viktor Orban

Viktor Orban is the current prime minister of Hungary and the head of the country’s conservative Fidesz party. Orban has spoken publicly against “liberal democracy” and wishes to make Hungary an “illiberal new state based on national foundations,” citing China, Russia and Turkey, as examples.

The Donald’s Great Wall of Mexico may sound ridiculous, but under Orban, it has already happened. As a response to the recent migrant crisis, Orban is in the process of building walls on Hungary’s southern borders. This, along with the walls he built on Hungary’s borders with Croatia and Serbia, will wall off the country from the rest of Europe. He is against Muslim immigration, portraying refugees as cultural warriors determined to change European culture for the worse.

At the end of the day, anyone can make comparisons between world leaders. I’m pretty sure Obama has been compared to every major world leader of the 20th century at this point.

But these aren’t just baseless comparisons. These are very real possible futures for America. History is repeating itself right in front of us. So if you want America to become the latest nation to fall prey to neo-fascist, strongman politics in the form of a leather muppet with an inferiority complex, by all means, let this election go.

Otherwise, vote blue this November. The stakes are too high for you to stay home.
