PoliticusUSA: Donald Trump’s Candidacy is a Symptom of a Much Larger Disease

[ailsagirl]

The Trump campaign is a manifestation of an illness that has been infecting American politics for generations.

A common trope in horror films is to make the audience believe the antagonist is finally dead, just to shock them with one more appearance by a bloodied and angry villain who makes one last attempt to wreak havoc on his (or her) victims.

Right now, we are seeing a different – but still terrifying – horror movie play out before our eyes in the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, and it’s up to voters to quash it come November.

The real villain, though, is not necessarily Trump. Instead, the metaphorical head that needs to be removed is the one that gives oxygen and viability to a campaign like Trump’s – that’s the antagonist we should all unite in destroying this year.
