For those who don’t know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.

Example:

  1. I wish human caused global warming would stop.
  2. It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.

The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it’ll get monkey paw’d?

So basically you don’t care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.

Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it’s still worth it

    Donald Trump bumps his head and wakes up as an objective and rational person willing and capable of acting for the good of his country and the world instead of his own unintelligent, narcissistic ways.

      He leaves office to use his fortune to set up a charitable foundation leaving a JD Vance presidency

          I think it was Leeja Miller who said Vance is a dark horse in that he can rationalize and communicate significantly better than Trump - making the insane sound reasonable.

          One of my fears is that while I disagree with Trump on practically everything, a JD Vance replacement of him would lead to greater competence to execute and justify the same agenda.

      The down side is his rational arguments and rational way of thinking is always opposite of what you want. He also convinces the state and federal legislators to repeal the twenty second amendment and he stays in office for several terms.

        If he just ignores it, like every other law, what will that do? The Amendment doesn’t mention any enforcement. Oh, I guess we’ll just check with the Supreme Court about that one!

      He gets impeached and convicted for abuse of power (because he is unwilling to cave in to corporate demands).

      Now you have President Vance!

      His followers believe some kind of twisted conspiracy theory about him being replaced by reptiloids and want to overthrow the woke communist impersonator, war ensures.

      Granted. Nothing changes. He is willing and capable, but his incentives for keeping things the way they are are too good.

      Granted. Trump is now fully capable of stripping the people of their rights to enrich the state and turn America into an effective fascist engine of war. He then turns his machine on the rest of the world to spread the goodness of America.
