I hope. A weird part of me wants to live through some massive sic-fi event like that. Probably the same sick part of me that wants to see Trump win simply to watch the fallout.

Watch the new show Braindead it might hit both of those spots for you perfectly. Also the best explanation for current us politics ive seen in a while.

> wants to see Trump win simply to watch the fallout. I have those same strange morbid feelings but not about Trump. Because I know the damage would be too severe. It's like saying there's a sick part of me that wants to play russian roulette. There's morbid and then there's knowing that the damage will be so massive that you already know the final outcome. Nothing mysterious about that. The GOP has been preaching hatred, fear and bigotry for the last 2-3 decades so someone like Trump was inevitable. The only good thing to come out of all this is that you know damn well the GOP leadership is sitting in a room somewhere, trying to figure out how to do a 180 and move back towards the center. Because if they don't, they lost the moderate and independent vote forever. Hell, I can see moderate republicans (like Kasich, etc) becoming democrats if things don't change or get worse. Trump is the worst thing to happen to the Republican party and I couldn't be happier.

  That Kasich is considered a "moderate" in the context of the contemporary GOP sorta illustrates your point.

    Eh, he has acted like a moderate on a few key issues; like not denying federal funds to expand medicaid as his peers in most red states did. He's also expected to sign the medical marijuana bill making its way through Ohio's congress. His behavior is most definitely not typical of your standard GOP congressman/governor.

Why not both? Trump is an alien robot sent from the future to prevent us from becoming unpalatable to our Alien master over-cooks by removing good Mexican food from our diets.
