This is the first time in U.S. history that the Lunatic Fringe has emerged so conspicuously in the U.S..Without going into the reasons behind it,I don't believe being exageratingly alarmist helps at all. What does help is a fortification of democratic values.
In any nation you are going to find a lot of "nut cases".The U.S. has about 330 million people. So you.re going to get X# of screwballs.But from that to think that Trump will be elected president,in my view, is a way too big jump.
