This country is so fucked up. And it's not just about racist, xenophobic Trumpism. The reason why the vast majority of EU countries have not ended up with threats to their democratic systems as this country has is not because they don't have a Donald Trump. There are plenty of wealthy autocratic/plutocratic "Donald Trump" types in Europe. It is because those countries don't have electorates that are half full of assholes.

EU countries may appear not to be half full of assholes but that's due to having largely homogeneous populations, unlike the United States.
In EU countries those elements of the population that are disliked because they're different are small in number, don't represent a significant threat to the political power of the majority, and can easily be marginalized by the majority.
