Too many Americans stood aside as populists and hatemongers, bankrolled by the 1 percent, took over the public discourse. Maybe they were too preoccupied with their own careers to notice these gun-loving radicals who, claiming self defence, were attacking and trying to destroy everything moderates and progressives held dear.

And americans have been let down by the Dems, their supposed allies. Obama wasted 8 years trying to please everyone instead of actually fighting back. He never learned, even tho it was obvious the repubs would never ever cooperate.

As in Canada, inequality over decades has created an underclass which is happy to support sick corrupt and incompetent leaders like Orange and Rob Ford.
