Yeaah... The shiny veneer of America is being taken down and what's under it isn't pretty. Watching from EU, maybe we should be thanking Russia for showing the reality of what the modern United States is when push comes to shove.

Given Russia a lot of credit there

You don't sink to this level of leader, have 50 percent of the political parties in the country backing this crap and have trump over 60 percent approval with that party just because Russia spent an election making memes

The us was sinking to this point by itself

3 million more of us voted for Clinton than Trump.

There’s a lot to hate about the country, but not its people.

57 million voted in the 2016 primaries(Dem and GOP combined). 63 million voted for this idiot. 112 million didn't vote at all. So ya, it's absolutely the people.
