Really good answer. Thanks. You obviously gave this much more thought than me with my flippant characterization. I agree with your take on Trump. He almost has the attitude that might be held by a child when thinking about the presidency. He is the boss who gets to decide what to do. Kids learn about separation of powers later.

Yeah, we can't help but do that. Culture is just the lens through which we view the world and we rarely are aware of how it is affecting us. Lately I've been seeing this in my sons and how they view some cultural things differently than my wife and I. Its kinda funny because on the topic I'm thinking of they are more restrictive and conservative than we are...

Dude, if only that were the idea of children. When I talk to people that like Trump... that's their mentality. Calling them nationalists or whatever is giving them too much credit. Same goes for many progressives. I mean... we are just so lazy.
