I don't think it's terminally stupid to vote Trump and I don't think making a terminally stupid decision would forever paint a person as terminally stupid if it was. It's not like people are uniform in how good they are at making decisions in every decision space. *cough* engineer libertarians *cough* I don't think accelerationism is a good idea but if a person buys into the idea then voting Trump is exactly the kind of thing you'd do when faced with this election.

Keep in mind I think people who have repeatedly supported centrist politicians and organisations are responsible for the state of the world in which a vote for Trump is even a possibility let alone a thing that could have consequences like Trump becoming President of the United States of America (and have also collectively thrown the left under the bus for decades). If we can forgive them for their choices as long as they're willing to work to fix it we should be able to look past one vote during an insane election. If you didn't get a little existential and panicky when Trump won the GOP nomination you either bought into the liberal can't lose bullshit or you're crazy.
