The key is organization. There is a huge group of people very angry about the state of our "leadership", but we are fractured, chaotic, and willing to sit here behind our keyboards bitching.

What is needed is a charismatic leadership who can unify enough of these various threads (reply to a particular group of the lies) to create a viable counter-force.

Trump - the good and bad:

Good. Trump has the charisma and he has a 'brand'. This provides a nucleus from which to begin.

Bad. I'm not at all convinced that Trump wants fundamental change. Rather than wanting to tear down the power which has concentrated in so few hands over the past 80 years (his lifetime), Trump wants to manipulate that power. Thus he handed off the same power he received plus a little (just like all presidents have done since WWII) to Obiden.

He's better than what has followed him, but a long-term solution he is not.
