They get a democratic alternative or they get revolution.
Here's the trouble with that. When the s*** hits the fan, Trump won't be blamed. Obama will be blamed. Hillary will be blamed. Liberals will be stereotyped, blamed and demonized. Trump will be deployed as the pitiful victim of the left. I truly wonder if we aren't headed for a real live civil war.
We Americans are so spoiled. We think we are immune from the crap that happens so commonly all over the world.
I don't know about that. Trump is really a chimera. He is a blustery buffoon in public, but congenial and engaging in private ... or so those who know him readily admit. Is the public side an act? It may be. When he is doing something that the public, and especially his followers, dislike, he rants on about something stupid, like illegal votes denying him the majority he won. The problem with that act, it wears with age. We'll see how long it lasts for trump.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
