I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

The only way you can look at the world right now and say "we're doing the same thing over and over" is if you choose to ignore unfathomable swaths of nuance in some reductionist attempt to protect your own sense of self-righteousness.
I don't really disagree with this, and in fact it sounds optimistic to me, provided you're asserting that a new party will be born from the broken duopoly that your prediction will cause. Which you may not be. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.
Edit: On second thought, I do somewhat disagree, as watching the democratic party flirt with and ultimately push back against a Candidate Sanders in 2016 definitely seems like a deviation from the plot-line you've presented. I can envision a future in which the Dem party is captured by further left factions as young people grow up and become more and more engaged with electoralism.
Sounds like you've got it all figured out.
Good luck out there, and keep an eye out for that hindsight bias, it'll creep up on ya'.
Alright. Given that you've said when Trump loses, rather than if, I'd love to get some insight into why it is you predict that he's going to lose.
