The funny thing is that I remember this being said about every candidate since Bill Clinton. Dont worry everything is going to be alright.

gestures broadly at the world that has been increasingly crumbling

You sure about that?

I agree things are crumbling, but Trump is a symptom not the cause. Trump is not going to be the end of things, he is just a dude that likes to talk about himself and be important.

I guess it depends on what subvert the election means. From all that I have known and heard it seems to be the same legal things that all the candidates usually do. And then when I say this someone links some partisan article about how it was worse than when Deathstar destroys Alderan.
