what Americans want the US to be. It's concerning and frightening that so many support him. If he were president and led his henchmen into the political establishment, I doubt there would be any return to a democracy for decades, possibly never. And the fools that want him have no comprehension of what they are voting for. They are clueless and ignorant. And likely Trump considers them all losers. He is using them to gain power. Analogous to what Hitler did in many ways. Finding scapegoats to rally the populace around him.
