  1. Dear Mr Harris, Thank you for being on the scene and for your informative and well-thought-out analyses. As an overseas observer, I realize my perspective on what's going on in your country is from my comfort zone on the other side of the world in a country not being invaded or having a president out of touch with reality. To me, the 70 million voters who went to the polls to vote were doing so on a concept in the news called revenge election; I'd call it revenge politics. You know what I mean. Someone sees how hated a candidate is by the other side, so to add fuel to the fire, they go out and vote for the scoundrel just to throw a wrench in the works. The democratic process, like democracy, goes through ups and downs and Trump brought it crashing to a crawl. People who have little to lose, or have seen their country tilt in directions that scare them, or have fallen for the mega-hype social media and cable news have unleashed on the world as a whole, these people know they wouldn't want to climb a mountain with Trump as their guide. They know who he is; they also know the other candidate is a complete human being, but they saw their opportunity to keep the show rolling with President Trump, a clown who has brought drama and farce into the political spectrum to the point that for those 70 million Trump voters, they saw the election as a way to get revenge on everyone and everything that has kept a glass ceiling in place over their heads. What's good about Trump's bizarre confrontation with reality and the US Presidency? He has blown away the past; he has shown us the nuts and bolts of politics: lie, cheat, steal if it gets point's for your side of the aisle. Mitch McConnell spelled it out in black and white with the latest Supreme Court nomination; if you can get away with indecent and immoral manoeuvering while the other side isn't looking, so be it. What the world can finailly see in plain daylight is that democracies are just as corrupt as the next system, and as long as capitalism is running under the floorboards, we haven't got a chance to change the drum beat.
