It just goes to show that "being smart" doesn't mean you aren't ideologically ignorant. Trump is objectively the correct choice for the majority of America's people (i.e. anyone that doesn't benefit from the current status quo).
But if you're voting for him because you are a Republican or because you hate lefties and not out of rational self-interest, you are no better than the ideologue who draws XKCD comics.
Very true, voting based on ideology simply perpetuates the problem.
I consider voting to be a mix or rational and emotional factors for most people.
As much as I dislike the idea, voting for Trump just to watch the chaos is acceptable to my ethos.
Not that I am, Jill Stein for all her faults is my top pick from a sorry bunch.

For a person that presents themselves as 'being smart' he dissapoints me by endorsing a proven warmonger.
If the shit hits the fan I hope he has the courage to volunteer for the front line of the war he voted for
