Just a thought about the Age of Trump. I've never really been angry at Trump. I've pitied him, because he is a pitiful, ignorant, amoral narcissist with powerful friends and his father's money. Trump is not who is at fault: we are at fault. We voted him in, twice.
I didn't, of course. Neither did you, probably. But that doesn't matter. That doesn't separate us from "the American people." It doesn't even separate us from "the American electorate." We let him in. We knew he was a a pitiful, ignorant, amoral narcissist with powerful friends. Now he's just being him, in an environment which happens to be custom made for his (and his powerful handlers') particular kinks.
A bull in a China shop is going to cause an enormous amount of damage. But it's not the bull's fault. The bull is just being a bull in a new environment. It's the fault of whoever let him into the shop in the first place.
