 On the flip side, this actually enables people like Trump to win. I didn't want to vote for that fuck. I'm pissed that I had to stand there and look at a ballot that made me think he was my best option (I was thinking of Ross and the possibility of a smidge less targeting of Bitcoin, nothing else appealed to me).

They'd probably end up with a lot fewer detestable opponents if they'd stop letting equally detestable people steer their ship. Trump is a backlash candidate in my opinion. A lot of the country is sick of being alienated and treated as sub-human for not going along with the woke policy of the week. We're letting like 5-10% of the population completely control the show.
