He's pretty much a sociopath.Did it ever occur to you that all politicians, with a possible very few singular exceptions, are sociopaths? That's more or less a basic requirement. How do you successfully lie, and lie again, and lie again about not having lied, otherwise?
How can you even do an election campaign where you do anything from insulting the other candidate to outright spreading libel? Someone who isn't a sociopath couldn't do that without getting ill effects. How can you actively sabotage the government while in the opposition, and then blame them for failing to deliver (because the opposition blocked everything)? Is that what "normal" people do, and is that what "normal" people can live with?
(Sorry, forgot to answer that question of yours: No, I don't think anyone whined before elections happened back then, although I wouldn't know for sure. That being said, people have been voting by letter for how long already... 4-6 weeks?)
Granted I'll give you that most politicians are pretty shitty people. My point still is that Trump is pretty unhinged. I mean we've seen evidence of this. Do you want a guy who's that easy to set off on a rampage, that vindictive, in charge of the world's most powerful military? And remember, this isn't just about the US. The US is the world's most powerful nation, I think we can agree on that. What happens here can effect most, if not all, of the world. I mean sure, the US may indeed go down the toilet, but not without dragging down most of the world with it.
