Both the Democrats and Republicans are totally complicit in the rise and acceptance of a figure like Trump. Both have left the majority of Americans for dead, and they have both directly created the desperation and nihilism that had its most visible expression on Capitol Hill.
Trump is awful, and I’m as glad as most sane people that he is almost gone. Whilst I prefer a more gentlemanly and honourable approach to politics, as exemplified by the Democrats, they aren’t the answer, not even close. I expect some kind of civility will return, but any improvement in the lot of working people will be minor at best.
I find it laughable that a frankly tepid figure like Sanders would generate such hostility and hysteria, when his policies do not amount to anything more than trying to make the lives of most Americans a little better. You’d think he was trying to start a mad commie revolution.
A joke of a country, similar to the UK, looking for easy populist solutions (read : scapegoats) to justify gossamer policy making.
