1). I think the world understands, and

2). I don't think the world is holding its breath waiting for us to explain how 77 million Americans thought re-electing him was the smart choice

I'd say that "Trumpism" isn't some mystical, unfathomable force.

I think we know exactly how and why Trump awoke multiple sleeper cells of morons across the USA for his amusement, his need to exploit them, and to wring them dry of their cash as they buy his "merch."

I'd say the conclusion the world has drawn, and accurately so, is that we have at least 77 million ignorant people in America, and it "just is."

When we see a duck walk by, we don't question its webbed feet or the fact that it's quacking.

The world knows.
