Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the psycho in chief is just a symptom. Whatever got him to the presidency may be the real issue.
You obviously don't believe that most americans support his ways but the fact remains: he was elected president.
Just the same, if the same public that got him there respond well when poked with stories of foreign threats then you can conclude that you may not have a Trump problem. You have a people problem.
At some point those of us living in "democratic" nations must take responsibility for whatever our elected leaders say and do. And if you don't support democracy because you are an extreme individualist (which is fine) at least not kid yourself about what most americans want. Don't forget that Trump was elected at a relatively peaceful time. If you get in a good old fashioned war, support for Trump-like characters would go through the roof.
Loved your post, by the way.
I too loved this original post and commentary following. As to the fact that Trump was elected by the American people, we must remember it was not by popular vote. And he only won electoral college votes due to gerrymandering. As stated by Karl Rove- "He who controls redistricting can control Congress" http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2016/07/19/gerrymandering-republicans-redmap
Well thanks for that.
I didn't know the particulars of the election but I get that popular support may not have been as high as one could assume.
Still disturbingly high, though.
