Trump is a gifted human being–in one sense only, but it’s an extremely important one.
He can speak to greedy people in a compelling way. But more importantly, he can address huge masses of unintelligent Americans in a way that is so convincing that his words seem to them to have come from Almighty God Himself.
As most of us know, the majority of Americans have liberal values: human rights, quality education, environmental responsibility, compassion for the oppressed, universal healthcare, and the use of science in informing public policy.
Now, we find ourselves at the mercy of a Republican-led congress. Will we see our country and its people torn apart by a would-be tyrant, so that a few Trump bootlickers can remain in office?
TBD.
