>>It's perhaps comforting to think a Trump could only get to power in a decadent society but in fact he got fairly elected by the rules in one of the most democratic countries on earth
I don't think decadence and democracy are mutually exclusive. Or even related, for that matter.
>>he was the people's choice
Ah, but he wasn't, was he - 46 and a bit% to 48 and a bit% or something like that. He was elected because of where people voted for him, not because more people voted for him.
Mind you, 63 million* people is still a b***** lot.
I do think that Trump may be the only elected leader in history being attacked for behaving and acting exactly as he said he was going to.
And given that is how 63 million people wanted him to act, I don't see the Democrats doing much to address the point.
They seem to be relying on him falling out of favour rather than making any particular positive strides themselves.
*ref: 63 million. I don't remember, it was something like that.
