@1ronnie - just have a look at some posts on HC to see how ignorant - or perhaps 'hopeless'? - people are. I do not understand the partisanship for an overseas dictator-in-the-making, except as a kind of fan worship by men, who haven't achieved much, have problems with being authoritative or simply just being 'real' in themselves, or with their families or partners, that is, if they have them.
I can only come up with a psychological explanation for the phenomenon on here, because I don't understand the passion exhibited, but have an answer for the voting public in the U.S. (and also Europe) - over there it was a protest vote against a world filled with overwhelming problems, too little income, too many demands and not enough education to be flexible, nor commonsense, either by government or people themselves, and the surfeit of conflicting information coming at them from all sides: public media, social media, church etc. etc. We are divorced from the simple rules of our forebears, for whom simplicity in everything was often solution. Kindness and Love have also gone AWOL from many people's lives. Ah well, for you, there is another trading day to go - I won't touch my computer tomorrow. Go well Taurisk
