As much as I’m voting Harris soon, I do secretly wish Trump would win. Because lately I’ve encountered a bunch of insane and radicalized people that took so many things out of context. While brandishing me as a Trumpist even though my comment history suggests otherwise. It’s that kind of mentality, is when I really hope we have another 4 years of suffering.

All because I’ll take comfort in knowing that those people, will suffer under his presidency and do nothing about it. They’ll just screech and screech on the internet into the void, while I masturbate in the morning to it. All in glee, over their suffering.

I’m so tired of every election cycle, that there’s packs of these people around and they wonder why young people aren’t getting up to vote. They wonder why discussing politics anywhere else is basically taboo or unwanted.

So while I am voting Harris, I’m secretly cheering Trump to win just to make those people suffer.

    I have similar leanings. Every election cycle there’s a growing part of my brain that just wants to vote for the craziest people on the ballot in hopes that they will succeed in burning it all down.

      Yup. And you vote for the right party or the right candidate, it almost doesn’t even matter. Such is the case of doing what I’m doing. I’m not expecting a celebratory response or anything.

      I evaluate it like this. If one voted for the Republican side, you’re empowering the obviously destructive party that’ll do the most damage. It’s out in the open, they aren’t hiding anything. But if you voted for the Democratic side, it’s very subtle. Their audience would praise you for voting the ‘right side’ but they’re still assholes at the end of the day that’ll feel empowered in giving you shit anyways, they just have a vilified motion when doing so.

      It’s like lose-lose either way.
