No offense, but your white male privilege is showing.
Trump is proudly spouting racist nonsense. He is proudly shouting misogynistic nonsense. He proudly lies about his record, his proposals, and what he has said a few hours earlier. He's like the rest of the GOP in wanting to slash taxes for the wealthy and gut Planned Parenthood and impose more restrictions on abortion:
Later:
IOW - "PP does great things, but I'm going to cut off all of their funding until they stop providing abortions."
Trump is not the "lesser evil". Trump is the "greater evil". Voting for him is a vote for the Republican candidate, and a vote for the reactionary policies they've put in place in DC and across the country.
It's fine to dislike Hillary, but don't try to argue that Trump is somehow better in any way. He's not.
"The system will collapse" isn't something to be wished for. Afghanistan and South Sudan and Yemen have systems that collapsed - they're not better off as a result. The system can be fixed by keeping the White House, flipping 6-12 seats in the Senate, and flipping a few dozen seats in the House. That's all it takes. Letting Trump and his angry minions burn the place down won't "fix" anything.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump defended Planned Parenthood during an interview Tuesday night, doubling down on his remarks that part of the group should be funded.
“They do good things,” Trump said during an interview with Sean Hannity that aired on Fox News.
“There's two Planned Parenthoods, in a way. You have it as an abortion clinic. Now that's actually a fairly small part of what they do, but it’s a brutal part and I'm totally against it,” Trump said.
“They also, however, service women,” Trump said, adding later, “We have to help women. A lot of women are helped. So we have to look at the positives for Planned Parenthood.”
Later:
“Look, Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many — for millions of women,” Trump said in a news conference Tuesday night. “And I’ll say it, and I know a lot of the so-called conservatives, they say that’s really … cause I’m a conservative, but I’m a common-sense conservative.”
Trump said he would not fund Planned Parenthood “as long as you have the abortion going on,” but noted the “millions of people — and I’ve had thousands of letters from women — that have been helped.”
IOW - "PP does great things, but I'm going to cut off all of their funding until they stop providing abortions."
