So when Trump becomes president.
I am kind of hoping he completely messes the USA up... It is actually... something they desperately need to happen to them.
They need to have one of the most disastrous presidential results ever experienced in well over 100 years. It is the only way the USA will actually grow a pair and grow up.
Since a ineffectual presidency helps no one and a "effective presidency" would almost be a horror story to the world. "Turns out Banning Islam actually does protect the country from ISIS completely"
I could get behind this if ruining everything was shown to make people better and more mature rather than angrier and worse. Sadly, the reverse seems true, which is one reason we're in this mess to begin with: Angry people make poor decisions, which makes things worse, which makes them angrier.
That said, I wholeheartedly approve of Trump for the message I feel it sends to the major parties: People are sick of their shit and will vote in a vulgar celebrity over the party line if they're pushed far enough. It's a very similar concept, just with what I assume are more coherent, professional actors.
Again, people said the same things in an opposite slant about Obama. He never actually did most of it, and went completely the direction you'd expect on sending killbots to assassinate people he didn't like.
While true, obama also wasn't actually running on the platform they were saying he was, nor actually outright saying he was going to do those things. Most of their perception of 'im were distortions or outright lies. Trump kinda', y'know. Is. Running on those platforms and outright saying those things. The perception of him comes right from his mouth and his party's platform. Not really equivalent situations.
Yeah, but I don't see many people actually, intellectually believing Trump's going to do much of what he says, so I feel the analogy of unreasonable panic and/or loathing holds.
