I've been thinking about this for a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the US is the only country with mean people—but it feels like the only country that's really *proud* of how mean it can be, whose people take pride in the suffering of their own countrymen.
In no moral, rational person's imagination could Donald Trump become the president of the country—unless you really understand how many mean and angry Americans there are, and then it makes perfect sense.
He is what they want their God to be.
He is all powerful. He is merciless. He is not less angry after gaining power, he's angrier than he ever was. (An assassin barely missed a headshot and nipped Trump's ear. And his response, his immediate, unplanned, unrehearsed response was to raise his fist in the air and yell.)
