“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

I literally said it’s going to get worse. It is getting worse anyway. We’re not living under an administration where all of the things you are worried about did not already get materially worse. Trump wins, it gets worse. Neolib Dem, biden or other wins, it gets worse. There’s no “if we elect the Democrat it won’t get so bad” path here and Im astounded that after all I know you’ve witnessed and all I’ve seen you post your opinion still flips back to that position anyway

Yeah it’s not great.

On the other hand Clinton would probably do more damage outside the US (She’d invade Atlantis for oil if she thought it existed.) Trump’s one silver lining was his ineffectual flailing at Foreign Policy.

I think US citizens should absolutely not hope for a Trump win, or think there’s no difference. But really it’s a dark choice if we do get Hillary vs Trump.
