I'm seriously worried about the Trump victories. I'm not an American, but I care about this country a great deal, and in the past decade and a half have gradually been converted to the right. Now, I won't get into the reasons I'm on the right, but I'll just say that I obviously believe that a lot of the bad things that are said about the right are false.
Then Trump arrived.
The problem with Trump is that he turns all of the negative stereotypes about the right into a reality. Suddenly a bunch of racists on facebook use the term "cuckservative", a deragatory term meant to mock mainstream conservatives. This is bad. One of the two biggest political parties in the US is slowly being taken over by rubes. I know that Bush was attacked the same way, but I believe the attacks on him were wrong. Trump is a true danger to the party and, if elected, to the republic.

It could be a facade. Like with British Politicians who all act noble to never actually do the policies they say they'll do.
But instead he's acting so extreme, he's getting the votes people didn't realise were out there and still count.
