trump becoming president would immediately cause a crisis worse than brexit and probably worse than anything that's happened to the country short of pearl harbor or the civil war.
hillary becoming president would change nothing really.
they're not the same thing. not even close. you can write all the sentences where they have similar verbs and adjectives and clauses, but you're still completely wrong
The world is rapidly changing and spiraling - Erdogan, Brexit and the (for now) slow unraveling of the EU, Putin, the migration crisis, the climate crisis, the economy that is still suffering from the mistakes from the late '90s and early aughts,.... The liberal dream of globalization, and the left answer of different globalization, have failed. Exporting Liberty, Justice, Reality TV and McDonalds to all corners of the world and making everything a Happy Place hasn't worked. We're faced with the return of right wing nationalism, not just in the US where it never really went away (oh sorry, I meant "patriotism"), but in Europe, too, and in some of the seemingly-more-advanced Middle Eastern nations, and across central Asia. NATO is falling apart, China has established control in most of Africa, Russia is busily claiming most of Asia, Western Europe is collapsing in a combination of debt, age and failed integration of immigrants and lack of environmental control.
What the Western world
needs is strong leadership, vision, a new pact, a new dream.
What we
get is either a quick descent into madness, or (at least) 4 more years of the Same Old Recipes that have already failed and are part of the problem, not the solution. Hillary won't be the one to usher in a new age of hope and prosperity. She's the biggest defender of the establishment, a last gasp of a dying oligarchy trying to make the most of their power as it lasts.
Both will leave the world a worse place than they found it. Which particular brand of Crapsack World we'll end up in might differ, but I'm not entirely convinced the very hard and rough Boot to the Balls wake up call of a Trump presidency might, in the long run, not be a better thing for the Western world than the slow festering of a Hillary presidency.
I'll gladly agree Trump is a worse person and a worse presidential candidate than Clinton. I'm sure she'll do less harm in the short term. I'm sure neither is what you or we need. As long as Trump is kept somewhat in check by Congress, though, he might actually change some things and force people to rethink some "common sense truths" about US politics. A rupture on both parties into a 4 or 5 party system would really help matters, for example.
