Trump has taught us a lesson about people.

There always have been and always will be countless people who will follow someone, some cause into a burning building. They either cannot recognize the danger or they refuse to believe the danger will hurt them. They believe everything will turn out for the better.

This is the history of mankind. This is why we will always pursue happiness, never truly catching up to it.

We will always have to defend ourselves against the people who walk into burning buildings.
