The stupid part is not that he said this

The stupid part is that a good percentage of a large powerful country like the United States allows and accepts a political leader like this to speak for them.

Turnip isn't the idiot

Everyone else is for listening to him and keeping him in a position of power

Except the majority doesn't want this moron. Yes, though, I do agree with your sentiment generally

The fact that anything more than a vanishingly-small minority wants him is an absolute catastrophe and an incredibly damning indictment of American society in and of itself. Trump's nonsensical babbling is literally beyond "schizophrenic homeless dude on the street corner with a 'the end is nigh' sign"-level gibberish.

People keep singling America out here as if right wing fascism hasn't been on the rise everywhere.

It's not damning of American society it's damning of humanity in general.

When things get tough a large portion decides to dig their heels in the ground and act like nothings wrong at all.

Buckle up, here in Australia, every couple of years a political party has the bright idea of damming water in Australia's tropical north and pumping it across 1000km of desert to Australia's farmland regions
