>>>>That is mind boggling ignorant. Your rational for voting for the least effective leader we've ever had is that no one was leading before?? And that voting for Trump was a good idea because of how well things worked out for the Germans with Hitler and the Italians with Mussolini? Those masses that abhor uncertainty are the same ones that voted for a pathological liar with no political experience because it would invoke some sort of certainty? None of this makes any sense and is all kinda dumb. Perhaps this is indeed a sign of the poor state of our education system.

>>"Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell! I took thee for thy better, take thy fortune: Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger. ." It's the part of the play where Hamlet is the most insane, in that scene only he can see the ghost. I not see the the analogy here you're trying to make unless you're suggesting that electing Trump was a result of mass insanity instead of mass stupidity - and I do not see the difference between the two in this matter.

>Instead, Polonius, his fiancé's father, was there and Hamlet mistakenly killed him.
