insecurities, frustrations I understand. But the irrationality of electing Trump I dont get. The man is a serial bankruptee, what are the chances of the country defaulting. And this fantasy of republicans/pence controlling him when all evidence indicates that they're just pr flacks that paper over his incendiary comments. What is the difference between Pence and Kellyanne, other than he's allowed to speak in front of large crowds.
This whole thing doesn't make sense. Brexit is slightly more understandable, years of xenophobia from right wing media and politicians had become accepted wisdom, referendum had little specifics meaning people were voting for different reasons including an unpopular pm. But this, the man's children will manage his businesses and have security clearances. His interests will clearly lie with his businesses, a fact that he has shown time and again on the campaign.
Brexit was a fantasy vote leave you'll get your hearts desire, but everybody knows what your getting with Trump...where does the white working class go from here?
What am I missing here
