The 3rd party voters aren't trying to get their candidate elected. They're trying to raise awareness for third parties so more people support them. Eventually they'll get some candidates into the Senate, onto the debate stage, and can slowly pick up steam from there.
What I'm saying is you're actually correct to a certain degree - the 3rd party voters who are voting because they actually believe their candidate will win are probably dumber than Trump voters. But that's not the point of voting 3rd party (at least not yet)
So when they vote 3rd party so hard that Hitler 2 USA bogallo gets elected. They will just what? Ask Hitler 2 to step down nicely?
I mean, this is even dumber than voting 3rd party and expected to win.
You know you can get people elected to congress without voting for third party presidential candidates, right?
