Yeah this is an important point. If the system lets guys like Trump get away with obvious crimes for 8 years, and that's when it's working as intended, then the system needs to be dismantled. Maybe the only way to drain the swamp is to let it turn into a sinkhole that drags everything down with it. Not that we have much choice in the matter at this point.

The thing is that even though Trump is incredibly stupid and incompetent, the people influencing him aren't. It will never completely fail, regardless of how bad it gets for the average person. They'll ensure that it meets their needs until we're right back to living in a medieval feudal system. Hell, we're almost there already, except there's still some pretty comfortable people in the middle. But that class is rapidly shrinking, and the feudal lords are tightening their grip.

Then perhaps the most responsible thing we could do would be to help it fail.

I'm not an accelerationist but you gotta play the cards in your hand.

Don't destroy swamps. They're massive sinks of carbon and havens for biodiversity. Leave the swamp alone.

They're a button-pusher.
