Farkas will be like "I can't believe he said that". That being said I didn't vote for him.
It's like the Flames. I would way prefer a nutball trade to watching a win. I fully admit that.

This is so weird to read, but I suspect there are a lot of voters who are like you.
It seems out of this world that we at a point of time where voters vote based on who would entertain them the most, knowing their life would likely end up worse by the end of the term.
I feel like this is the first time I've ever really understood the negative trajectory for society. People just want to be distracted / entertained. And tragedy is interesting for so many people.
TLDR: We're screwed as a society.
