    The reason assholes like Trump can win elections is because there are SO many other assholes who support them.

    Trump won because more people valued hurting others than helping others.

      Trump won because of algorithmic propaganda and people following idols instead of history.

      This includes the ‘assholes’ who have been indocrinated for decades.

      Not necessarily. This is a very simplified, decolorized version of events.

      Most voters in the US can’t even name and shallowly describe any given policy of their chosen candidate. Americans voted for Trump, because they liked one or two things they heard him say. Or simply because they only knew one of the names on the form.
