The hooded crow bodes ill. See Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. To the best of my knowledge this crow is not, however, a raven.

Trump Will Win

You’re right.

A vote for Trump will run the US into the ground. It will probably take the rest of the world with it.

Every voter who plans to vote for Trump knows this and doesn’t care.

These voters are tired, they’re humiliated, they’re angry. They would rather die in an armageddon than “live a life of quiet desperation”.

They will do ANYTHING to change the status quo and Trump is a tool for doing just that.

Heath Houston described it very well here:

What happened with Brexit will happen with Trump. It’s an irrational response to an untenable situation.
