Some things to Keep in Mind about the
Trump Election
Everyone (including the
victor, his supporters and sympathisers) is in some degree of shock following
the victory of Trump. Many who are both shocked and dismayed are in the UK (and
may most include most in the UK, but who really knows). How, we ask, did this
happen? By which we mean, how did a man of
such views and of such a character get the support of so many? A
conservative victor running on an isolationist political ticket and a
protectionist economic ticket might have been a cause for great regret, but not
for the reaction, bordering on revulsion, which Trump has summoned forth.
