I don't think our species have good chance of surviving even 10 thousand years. If things go well, we would enhance ourselves with genetic engineering and implanted cybernetics to such a degree it would be silly to say our descendants 10 thousand years hence would still be the same specie as their barbarous trump electing ancestors. But more likely we would have died out as a consequence of electing trump or another trump like piece of shit to positions in control of major nuclear arsenals.

Yeah, electing a trump would have been unthinkable just a few decades ago.
