I sure hope the BoBs and Greens and the rest of the alt-left are happy!

195. A lot of them are. Some of them are just stupid.

The selfish ones are the Susan Sarandons. They are wealthy, they won't get deported, they won't lose healthcare, they don't need social security. Jill Stein is in this category. Most people who write for alt-left sites like CounterPunch are in that category. The alt-lefties you see on youtube are in that category. You don't see many people at risk of deportation or losing healthcare talking about how great it is that everything is going to burn down.

The alt-leftists aren't personally going to lose anything to Trump. It's like a movie to them, or a video game. Hey, wouldn't it be fun if Trump caused immense suffering to millions of people, and then we can ride in to save the day? Other people suffer for their political experiment.

But, yeah, it's not just selfishness, it's also stupidity. It takes a lot of stupidity to think that a Trump administration is somehow going to make progressive changes in the future more likely. This was Nader's theory -- he said it would be better for W to win to shake the Democratic Party up. Instead we got 8 years of W that we are still recovering from. And just when we got over the damage that Nader/Bush caused, here comes the alt-left to set us back again.

The central problem is that by helping Trump win, the alt-left isn't burning down the Democratic Party, they are burning down the whole country.
