Whenever I listen to the problems Trump has caused, I think back at conversation I had with a US voter at a dinner party in 2016.

Considering him an intelligent person, I asked him how Trump could have so much success, when it was so obvious that he was a conman.

Even this intelligent being before me replied, "Well maybe Trump has a lot to offer. After all, he is a skilled businessman."

It was at that moment I realized, how many voters had paid zero attention, and how dangerous that was.

@randahl we did not and many of us still do not understand how easily our democratic institutions can be abused to give us a negative outcome. Things are not supposed to work this way.
