    As George Carlin said

    If you have selfish ignorant people you get selfish ignorant leaders

    It’s not about one politician. He got in but let’s be real, if it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. The people wanted this. They voted for it. Hoodwinked or no, they wanted a selfish ignorant leader for selfish ignorant reasons.

    Our democracy has been pointing to this for decades. If anything, this election showed me what us Americans are actually like.

      In line with what you’re saying, I’ve been thinking that as fixated as we all are on Trump right now (and naturally so), whoever comes after him might be even worse.

      It’s gotten to the point where their ignorance and apathy now affect people literally on the other side of the world.
