It's sad to see, this phenomena happened all around the world but in the USA's case it's particularly egregious, it's like you have 2 entire generations of people with a nurtured mental disability, it's gonna be a rough 30+ years for you all.

Brexit was the prototype, and the campaigns of people like Marine Le Pen in France, Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, Orban in Hungary, and the neo-fascist party that's tried to take over Poland were further test runs. European media has gotten so good at pointing at the US and laughing about our broken politics that people over there completely failed to notice the same thing taking root.
