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:

I wish human caused global warming would stop.
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.
