Only in America would a man like Trump find 350 million free citizens and appeal to 40% of them.

We've got a lot of fascists and racists here...and you can't legislate that kind of aberrant behavior away. We're stuck with them, and every now and then, our electoral system gives them a bully pulpit to lord over us and teach us again why casting the right vote is the most important duty we have as Americans.
