They were fooled in the same way the German people were fooled by the Nazis. The German people were hurting badly from the deliberate attempt to keep them down with the Treaty of Versailles. They were suckers for a minority to blame for their problem and the Jews fit the need.
We may have thought that no peoples would be so uneducated and ignorant to fall for the same trick again but we didn't consider Southern Americans closely enough. Now it's those fools who won't change until they feel real hurt for taking their pain out on minorities. And that's not coming in the foreseeable future, or quick enough to save America.
That's why Mueller is working with the FBI to eliminate Trump, but in a facesaving way which won't cause ruin to the Republican party. Trump will understand laying on of big hurt to his children. It's one of the few things some corporate psychopaths 'can' understand.
If shame is all your country will have to bear for it's acceptance of Trump for president, you'll be getting off very easy. In truth, if you look around you will see that America has a damaged reputation in the world now that's not reparable.
It's all too bad but it was always inevitable that the American way of selfish capitalism couldn't last long in a global world where Americans are compelled to compete with people who are willing to work a lot harder and longer.
I agree, I agree, I agree...and I agree.
The similarities between the Trump supporters and the people who lionized Adolf Hitler are so great, it seems incredible that they cannot see them.
But...so goes the world.
We Americans will pay a big price for Donald Trump. So will the rest of the world. Too bad for all of us.
