Trump Isn't an Anomaly. He's a Warning.
Trump isn’t a fluke. He’s not some weird one-off or a break from our political tradition. He’s a mirror.
He reflects something deeper — a shift in our culture, our institutions, our attention spans, and our tolerance for lies. He’s not the only threat. But he’s the most visible, the most shameless, and the most dangerous because of what he reveals:
That many Americans would trade freedom for certainty. That many institutions weren’t as strong as we believed. That democracy, when left unattended, will rot from within.
I’ve seen this happen in places that once had open elections, active civil societies, and vibrant media — until they didn’t. Until people got tired. Or cynical. Or scared. And then someone came along who said:
“Only I can fix it.”
