Why Americans voted for these people is beyond me.

Yes, I should have said voted for him or didn't vote. Same impact. Express or tacit support. It perplexes me someone could be apathetic enough not to bite when this was one of two outcomes.

The gazillion dollar question I think it's impossible to understand from overseas. Willingly electing a horrible man. I think it's the rampant individualism reaching a natural conclusion. Everyone vote for the one thing important to them and to hell with the whole community.

The bit we don't get from overseas is, to be fair to Trump, he said as much and the majority of Americans still voted for him.

This is the natural conclusion of unbridled individualism and late stage capitalism. If they burn, at least the world might learn. Like we did in the 1930s.

If that's what it takes for Americans to realise Trump and these populists are not the answer, yes.

As much as I hate it, isn't this exactly what Americans voted for. I mean, they said they'd do this (and all the other stuff).
