There's still time to confirm my extreme edge case hypothesis that Donald Trump's entire political career has been a carefully constructed and coordinated live-action worst-case-scenario demonstration meant to shock people out of their complacency and demonstrate in real time just how bad an unhinged president could be and forever ruin the public's faith in the Republican party by actively ruining everything he touches.
I'll be honest, I kind of gave up on this theory in about 2017 or so, but then again we came back around to using medical leeches, so anything is possible.
Leeches and maggots have been used medically for a long time and for legit purpose, though
Its not as extreme edge… i was told only yesterday that its better if Trump wins the election just because people are more motivated to resist.
I can see their point but i think that kind of rhetoric is going to cause a civil war.
In my mind the ends could justify the means in that scenario as much as I don't like the means... but we still need to get to the ends.
