Also Trump 2 proves without a doubt that at least half of the american voters are absolutely insane or incredibly stupid. For 1 there used to be some doubt.

We in Europe are enjoying roughly 15-20% insane/stupid ratings at this point, which is not great but still a bit better.

The algorithm/method of vote determines a large part of the political landscape (and in the US, only 2 significant political parties can realistically exist. People have to choose between those 2 and lot choose to abstain).

Other methods of vote exist, e.g. if https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rated_voting was implemented I think the political landscape would be very different.

Anyone that doesn't agree with you politically is insane or stupid?
Yes, anyone that threatens to invade a NATO ally is insane or stupid.
No, he does't hate pancakes.
What the hell made you think that from what I wrote?
This logic applies if you believe it was an honest and fair election.
Doesn’t matter does it? If it wasn’t free of fair it still means the Trump team is the dominant team in America.
The question wasn't which "team" (grow up!) is "dominant," it was whether the election result proves anything about the American public. It does if you think it was an honest and fair election. Simple as that.
