    31% of Americans voted for Trump. And less than half of American voters voted for him.

    The reason we have this geriatric Hitler in power is due to corruption. It’s not the American people as a whole being fooled, it’s the American people as a whole being oppressed.

      I don’t often see this stance taken on here — where victim blaming might be seen by many internationally as “punching up” due to former US hegemony — but I agree.

      It’s not only more technically accurate, it’s more useful knowledge in terms of what actions must next be taken, because anyone from any country who thinks this phenomenon is purely American is in for a rude awakening.

      The crisis and its roots are global. The solution must likewise be global. I just hope history shows that Americans pulled their weight in the coming global struggle that has only just begun.

      31% of Americans voted for Trump. And less than half of American voters voted for him.

      Is this supposed to be reassuring? Because I’ll tell you what I think: more than 10,000 total across the entire country voting for the orange utan is absolutely alarming.
