What's the alternative? I keep seeing you all saying "don't vote Trump" and then being told to roll the dice on chaos and assume things get better. I'm not sure I follow the logic at all- how do you know things will collapse? That a "new right" will rise up? What if the "collapse" gives way to a new unstoppable technocratic left that purges us? You can't know the future. You're assuming based on.... a loose correlation to Weimar Germany?

If a failed art student comes out of nowhere and gets shit rolling then I'll switch courses but I'm not going to burn my house down in the off chance I'll find a new house.

Your comment is a ray of sanity and the perfect rebuttal to this madness. Thank you.

Every "don't vote Trump" post I've seen makes a claim like this based on absolutely nothing: "Trump's defeat will be like the lifting of a great paralysis curse."

It's like saying "maybe if we give up power to someone who openly hates us, something good will happen." It's retarded.
