He's the equivalent of the idiot in high-school who doesn't care about learning anything but still gets by by cheating. It enrages me to no end that such a man can get to hold the most powerful position in the world.

While I agree with both of these sentiments, what angers me most is what his presidency says about us as a nation. To me, it says to the rest of the world and to us in particular that we are too lazy as citizens to actively participate in the country our forefathers left us. We've allowed, through our own complicity, complacency, or apathy, someone like this to represent us to the world and to run roughshod over the very ideals we supposedly care so deeply about.
What does it say to us as a nation that we're not bothered enough by his actions to actually do anything about it?
Our government is supposed to fear
us. It's not supposed to be the other way around. We're supposed to make demands of our president. It's not supposed to be the other way around.
