Trump isn't a problem. What will be a problem is if the US Democratic Party continues its Kamikaze dive and succeeds in destroying itself.
Because the USA has a political system that relies on having two contending parties. Any other system, other than the early years after the American Revolution, is essentially untried and unpredictable in terms of outcomes.
THAT is what people should be concerned about.
The irony is that when discussing the USA or the UK, we're still basically in the same boat!
I agree with your contending-parties statement, if one side is preferred, another seems to be hell-bent on
offering an alternative -no matter how far out it is.
I believe it comes down to accepted Westernised standards being effected by a multitude of external reasons
that have been sullied by those who have certain power-wants. Take a look at some of the richer countries
around the world that have utilised the format of organised industrial ethics to benefit their social fabrics.
Their structure of governing is aimed towards success via bringing all-embracing wealth into their nations
and with it, less in-house turmoil. Religion abides in a more-conciliatory fashion alongside the idea that
faith isn't essential in being part of the whole. Care becomes important in all its facets becomes important
to maintain a healthy society and security is also vital in that preservation.
With these ideals, power is often diluted down to the individual and for some, that can be a terrible waste
of exploitation. Hence, we have serpents dressed in expensive suits with promises as genuine as their
smiles and a need to have chaos poured into such a peaceful system.
Just take a look at the Middle-East.
It's only an island if you look at it from the water.
