Generations of right-wing propaganda has led to a populace that will do anything they're told. They've also managed to dehumanize anyone who disagrees with them, so people won't leave the fold. (Who would want to be "vermin", as trump/hitler/RTML(Rwanda) called their opponents.)
Tens of millions of Americans want this dipshit to have the power to decide to use nuclear weapons. Tens of millions of Americans look up to him for his intelligence and temperament to the point that they want him to be in charge.
As an American, I apologize to the world. Hateful assholes have been defunding our education for a long while and this is just the result, I guess.

Watch Idiocracy if you don't understand what I mean.
I threw up a little while reading that. Some would say even more than a little. But those people are bad. Very bad people. I have the best gag reflex you'll ever see. So great.
