The possibilities are absolutely horrifying. I agree that many were uninformed and incurious, but there were many others who just didn't care - I know this because I'm related to a number of them. They didn't support trump because of his facility with policy - he has none, and his supporters know it full well. They didn't support him on ideology - how could they? He's taken both sides on almost every issue.

He ran because he craves adulation, and that will be the only thing he'll ever want (besides money).
