Trump is one symptom of much deeper corruption in our political system. One that transcends party lines. Politician's are bought by monied interests and no longer serve the people in most cases.

If we cant get the money out of politics it's only a matter of time till another despot rises.

The fundamental problem here is capitalism because it's a system designed to concentrate wealth in the hands of the few. As long as capitalist relations remain, nothing will change.

Trump represents the worst aspects in the USA and nearly everyone has a little bit of it in them. Just that the more self aware of us and compassionate have far less.

It's not just politics. There's an empathy deficiency across the entire nation. Toxic individualism will always lead down this road.
