I didn't vote for Trump, but deep down I can't help wanting him to win, and I figured out why: It will make a lot of people realize they made a mistake of epic proportions, and learn from it. Humans are only capable of learning from historical mistakes made from the recent past.

I'd like the US to still exist in ~40 years, rather than be stuck on a sinking ship that will result from Hillary winning.

Republicans are sick of more of the same and threw the presidency away to send a message. Democrats will gladly accept a free win because they don't win on policy or the issues, so they will vote in the hilariously corrupt.

Face it. Trump has horrible ideals, but if Clinton became president it would be boring, and you'd still have all those racist Trump folks hanging around, becoming ever more racist and powerful for the next election, instead of being forced to change for the better once the world makes them realize what horrid things they've caused if Trump became president. They'll either realize this, be killed or kill themselves.

Yeah, part of me wants him to get in so that America gets the enormous fuckup it deserves.

But then I remembered that there are probably tons of human beings that will have incredibly lovely lives under a retarded Mussolini, and that's a big sacrifice for them to make so I can have a smug "I told you so" moment. Especially since Trump supporters have already proven themselves to be completely disconnected from reality so they will probably refuse to believe it's his fault anyways.

Yeah I remember when all the Bush Neocons recanted their bad ideas and said they would be good democratic socialists w/ non-interventionist philosophy. It was in 2006, I think.

Think of the Hitler regime. Many of the Nazis regretted what they got into, though some probably thought they did not have much choice..

you don't think it's at all relevant that they only regretted it at gunpoint, after their country got demolished and occupied by foreign powers who liked killing Nazis?

Same. I mean it would really start to suck after he gets into office and fucks everyone's healthcare up and dooms the U.S. to rushing headfirst into catastrophic climate change, but before that it would be pretty funny to watch the safe space crowd flip out.

edit: Also I love that Arizona is probably going to vote for Trump when the southwest is on the brink of the worst drought in a thousand years, that will probably last for half a century or so. Not gonna pity them so much when us Californians have to patrol the Colorado with Apaches to keep their paws off of it.

You know what would work, is if everybody on earth got killed in a war except for one guy. Then that guy could go 'whoa, never wanna see that happen again!', and because nobody's around to argue with him, it wouldn't.

Makes you think about what a paradise it could be for all of us, except the 6.99 billion of us who are dead.

The thing about learning from your mistakes is that it takes some introspection and having the state of mind that lets you think about yourself as a failable human being.

People who unironically vote for Trump because they think he's a good idea are more like animals in that they are not self aware. They will not learn from their mistakes because they can't use introspection. It's ALWAYS someone else's fault for things going wrong. No amount of gently caress ups will teach them, they exist solely for themselves and let their ego drive the bus.

The only thing we can do is damage control and try to put out the fires they light.
