The truly 'big' things NEED a rock bottom to force an understanding, and action of change, so I'm hoping Trump goes all the way, purely for the much larger picture. It might also make people over here realise we don't have to put up with the standard 2 party system that does nothing but fuck people over, and interfere in more and more aspects of our lives, no matter what ideals, and promises they spout.

It's also weird looking in on the US from the outside during this whole thing. I don't pretend to know anything other than the very basics of politics - it disgusts me tbh, and I refuse to be played for a cunt and a mark - but seeing the media and their desperation tactics... it's mind-blowing.
This is the most even-handed and honest European post on Trump I think I've seen anywhere. Usually all you get is 90% "how awful that he hates muslims, mexicans, and women!" (none of which he has ever said) or the 10% "Yeah!! Destroy the world!!!! Trump ist der deathtöünge! Clinton is CIA Illuminati Trilateral anti-Christ!""
