Well, if I'd were American I would be a lot more fluent in English. :]

Trump is the future.
"The effect on political life will be devastating. There will be less emphasis on issues, substance, and ideology, and an increase in the importance of image and style. Politicians will have greater concern for moment-to-moment shifts in public opinion, less concern for long-range policies. Unless the use of television for political campaigns is strictly prohibited, elections may be decided by which party spends more on television and media consultants....The line between political life and entertainment will blur, and movie and television stars may be taken seriously as political candidates..." ~ Neil Postman.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
―Thomas Jefferson
“The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.”
― Plato, The Republic
When anybody simply and bluntly states an overlaying blanket statement that calls for the end of democracy, it is all too easy to conclude that the individual making the assertion is a "troll." Let me state this as clearly, distinctly, and directly as I possibly can: If you are a citizen like myself of the USA, then we should abandon our democracy for the common good of mankind not only in our own nation but also for the sake of the greater world. Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee and then win the Presidency because American voters have become extremely uneducated, lazy, disgruntled, and have a massive sense of entitlement which leads to a voting populace becoming easily manipulated by the likes of a little false economic fascist prophet like Donald Trump.
The truth about Trump is that he is a failed businessman who only succeeded by inheriting and borrowing money from his father which led inevitably to him being a success. The fact that he is worth a net of $10,000 Billion is exceedingly impressive, but that is by luck combined with good business sense stemming from being born into money. He is NOT a self-made man. He is NOT a self-made success in any sense of the expression.
So what does that mean? It means that democracy is an all too dangerous experiment. When I look around Europe I see beautiful structures and preserved forests along with a viable economic system which has its roots in a legacy of nobility ruling over the common peasant class. We need to bring back the old nobility of our sacred roots and traditions. We need to take the power of "voting" away from the grossly uneducated and grotesquely ignorant. We should not applaud when the common hillbilly votes for a nutjob like Trump, rather, the hillbilly must NEVER have the chance to make a decision any more complicated than perhaps what he eats for lunch.
As I said before, we can maintain a shred of democracy in America by reclaiming dignity and integrity to the system.
If you do not have at least a Bachelor's degree, then you ought not to be allowed to vote. I think even the most radical flag waving lunatic can force himself to see the wisdom in this statement.

I predict the electoral college will one day be replaced with Facebook.
