Without the oligarchs and the other 70+ million enablers, Trump would be just another eccentric billionaire spouting off crazy stuff that gets into the media from time to time, instead of being the most powerful and destructive person in the world. Unfortunately, so many people in this country are ignorant, xenophobic and just plain stupid that they can't see through the B.S. the right wing media is feeding them, and as a result, they often vote against their own interests.

America has always had a large number of ignorant people, but the number seems to have grown over the last 40 years. It's because of them we can't have nice things like they do in other developed countries.
