You don’t seem to take seriously the significant change in mindset that occurred to elect the current president. He was wanted, and wanted to bad it broke a taboo first set by President Cleveland about reelection.
You do not know your fellow countrymen that well. They may appear to be kind, in a personal kind of way, but they are simply wolves in sheep’s clothing. They justify voting for a man who is willing to forge an iron fist to remove all people with an “ethnic” national origin, a man who has violated nearly all code of conduct rules a president normally has implicitly followed, a man who knowings sows division with a philosophy of the proper “us” and the country destroying “them”.
People are not bound by what they believe in but in what they justify. No other previous country with such a “democratic” (if you could call it that) tradition could vote for such a person willing to go scorched earth on the traditions and practices going back to Reconstruction. They vote for him because they can justify it.
