Our deepest collective shame isn't that Donald Trump managed to become President

18. Respectfully disagree the worst thing is that our system holds.

You didn't state it that way, but our institutions are working as they were intended under the extraordinary circumstances of congress and the WH being filled with Republicans who are now trying to destroy them. They still stand strong against all these attacks and stresses, and that is very reassuring to me in these dangerous times.

Imo, the worst thing is not even The Donald raging in the oval office.

The worst is that many millions of Americans voted for this depraved, disordered and dangerous buffoon and that most of those still support him and want to reelect traitorous people to office.

The politically deranged mass they've become is the grave danger that may bring down our republic. Trump is a symptom of this far greater disorder.
