And also, perhaps Donald Trump set a whole culture of not taking responsibility for anything from the top - and the main way of taking responsibility for the affairs of our government in our democracy is to vote. So, Trump set a self fulfilling prophecy in motion by saying to so many of his supporters that the election would be rigged - and they concluded on their own that, therefore, it wouldn't even be worth their while to vote. But what do you expect from a man who has never taken responsibility for his own actions and behavior?
