No, it means that reality doesn't care what we think is OK.    The rules of the game did not change just because Trump won.

So, in your opinion, was Clinton as corrupt as Trump?   Or is Trump just a run of the mill corrupt American politician, no better than the leaders of "shithole" countries?

It is their constitutional right to be "fools".    This is what "democracy looks like".

And I suppose if the hysterical are correct, and ultimately you lose your democracy because of these fools, you'd be ok with that.

Trump is just another U.S. president, and far more relevant than any leader of a "shithole" country...and many others too.    That's why he matters...and so will the next one...."corrupt" or not.

Of course...the constitution is far more important than mob democracy anyway, which is why America has one.   The leftist extremists can't have it both ways.

If America lost their democracy, how would the constitution even be relevant?  Serious question, not even trying to be an asshole.

In which case, why do you complain so much about people taking an interest in US politics and Trump?

Technically, the U.S. is not a democracy and was never designed to be one.   It is a constitutional republic with elements of representative democracy.   Americans will fight and die for the U.S. Constitution, not mob rule.   And that included John McCain.

I'm not complaining, just pointing out the unbalanced interest compared to other nations and their own.   Canadian "democracy" was given a time out by Trudeau..where are the protests ?   The American show is far more interesting I guess.

I can say with pride that I was there for all the Moon shots INCLUDING Apollo 8. My wife is still twenty years my junior last time I checked. Kids grown & gone. Still don't bother with blue pills...life's not bad. 

But she & others want to tear it all down...expect resistance.
