Do you really want an asshat in the White House?

The failures of a Trump presidency would be historic. Think of all the embarrassments and failures of Jimmy Carter or George W. Bush amplified x100. This is a man who, unlike Bush, cannot string together a coherent thought, has zero experience in government, has a clinical, untreated case of narcissism, and has relatively little education (c.f., Bush, Clinton, Obama all Ivy educated). It's not just a prediction that he will destroy all of America's hard fought global alliances--it's a campaign promise. He is both pseudo-intellectualism and mindless populism personified. He appeals to the most simian primitive emotions and instincts not because of some intricate strategy, but because he himself does not possess any faculties above that. It's not a coincidence that thinkers on every side of the political spectrum have disavowed Trump. His own party disowned him. To his remaining supporters, the average joes, their rallying cries are still deafening in the face of what should be crises of their allegiance. Their former political heroes be damned, principles be damned, facts be damned--his supporters finally have a candidate that thinks like them and is one of them, a stupid person. On some level I want him to win, if only to witness the Mondale-tier blowout in 2020 and one more knockout blow to the fascism meme.

I enjoy to see nations committing self-destructive acts because of their intellectually poor and easily manipulable population votes for the most stupid choice available, so my answer is: iff most Americans want an asshat in the White House then I strongly believe America deserves an asshat in the White House. You see, people have to understand that the only way to have a good government is to have a smart population, but the problem is nobody cares about good education in America... maybe a few would like to have things like free college so they can get some bullshit degree and then a higher paying job just to satiate their consumerist impulses, but nobody is asking to improve the terrible education level of American schools, and this is because those parents who care probably had a good education, have good jobs and can afford the tuition of some elitist institution for their kids, and those who don't are probably stupid, have horrible jobs and couldn't pay for it even if they wanted. The order is there, and will probably stay like this for a long time because this society is too individualist to give a shit.

My personal fantasy is to think that if America chose the most absurdly stupid candidate ever (e.g. Trump), after four years of chaos and worldwide humiliation they will finally realize how fool they are. But that's naive: what would actually happen is that one group will blame the other and say "I didn't vote for him/her", and the other group would blame whatever scapegoat is introduced by the president and his/her staff.
