Trump America, Part 3- Broken Government

If a crazy man with a gun is outside of your house yelling about blowing stuff up, you wouldn't typically let that man inside. That's just common-sense. The American voters, or at least about 63 million of them, just essentially did that. Donald Trump ran against the establishment of both parties in Washington, and against the very way Washington, DC runs. He said he alone could fix it. He has come into office and attempted to blow it up.

Let's not pretend this is a normal Presidency, or that we ever should have thought it was. Steve Bannon is the President's counselor, and he has openly talked about "destroying the establishment." They have spent the first ten days signing blatantly illegal executive orders, arguing about crowd sizes, and bashing the press. Why would the American people ever invite this kind of chaos into their government.

A lot of people have decided that the government doesn't work for them. They may be right or wrong, but their perception of a Washington that doesn't work and isn't good is a driver in deciding to "blow it up." You wouldn't allow this type of behavior if you thought Washington got things done for you. Much of this is ignorance, mind you, as much of the world would love to live under the conditions that Americans do, but whether these people are right or wrong isn't what matters here. They feel left behind by their capitol. The result of that is letting the crazy man with the gun into their house.
