    Trump is only a symptom of a dysfunctional system. Whether it goes by the name of trump or it goes by the name of something completely different, there will always be a boogeyman to scare voters for them to remain in power. Democrats will provide a boogeyman for their supporters and Republicans will provide a boogeyman for their supporters. All in an effort for the duopoly to stay in power, and keep any outside threads at bay

      This is another “both sides are bad” argument; while partially true, the Republicans clearly are much worse.

      Aaaaaand you get downvoted.

      People don’t actually realize why there’s so much support for Trump. A lot of the public is tired of the gasligjting, bullshit, and lies that establishment politics has brought them for the last ~70 years.
