D'ya think fear is the prime directive in life? Fear of "the other"? Fear of the "unknown"? Isn't that what got Trump elected? Fear?

Why else would otherwise normal people vote for him for anything let alone vote for him to lead them? They knew what he was/is and his entire campaign was fear-driven, fear-based, fear-embraced. Why are people so afraid that they would vote for a man like that? Are you afraid too? Of what?  The bogeyman, nuclear war, people of color, same-sex marriage? I'm afraid of nuclear war too but the other stuff? You gotta be kidding me! :(
