Authenticity of the web ??? When did you join Internet? If anything, I think Trump has opened the flood gates of vileness that Internet already was. Similarly, Trump epitomizes the flip-flop-bigotry in politics. I guess the reason many people hate Trump is because they see their own reflections in him and he cannot keep the (their) bigotry wrapped in civilized political correctness. This is true about both left liberals and right conservatives, both sides are equally terrible. Trump’s popularity is reflection of what has happened to this country due to ages of bad-bad practices. Trump seems to be challenging/begging for someone to stop him and his ignorant/angry vengeful followers. If we cannot deal with this phenomenon, Trump, right now then we will only be surprised by an even bigger in-your-face fascist. May be Americans need fascism based on their current popular choice. Years of affluence has got to have some consequences, freedom comes with it’s price too, and free-speech should also accommodate someone like Trump. Coming from a third-world democratic country I can only say that people like Trump are not new for us. I have seen my share of vile-bombastic-fake-university-owning politicians.
