Roger Cohen with a great question..."There’s a deeper question, which comes back to the extraordinary Western landscape and the high American idea enshrined in it. Americans elected Trump. Nobody else did. They came down to his level. White Christian males losing their place in the social order decided they’d do anything to save themselves, and to heck with morality. They made a bargain with the devil in full knowledge.
Cohen(2)
So the real question is: What does it mean to be an American today? Who are we, damn it? What have we become?
Trump was a symptom, not a cause. The problem is way deeper than him."
