18. Trump represents the widening crack ..

.. in our collective psyche.

In a world where people are divided, this is the only
conclusion.

And believe, as long as we remain divided, Trump
will do nothing but gain strength.

This has to do with the way sociopaths gain power
and have power handed to them.

This country has mostly elected sociopaths because
they will literally do anything to get power -- lie, cheat,
steal, kill, and backstab.

This represents exactly the way that America has completely
lost its moral compass.

I think resistance and division just keep this process in play
because the non-sociopaths have been conned and played,
and at the same time playing their part in perpetuating this
trend to its only logical conclusion -- destruction and extinction.
