and community with each other. trump is trying to tear it down as fast as he trashes the government, but I think the faster he goes, the more we'll feel the need for "community" as support against him. People like to be part of something with their neighbors; it's one of the reasons I used to love to vote at the polling place... running into and talking with neighbors around the block I maybe hadn't seen in a while. As Maslow said, people have a hierarchy of needs that must be met. I think we intrinsically reach towards those goals to better ourselves and help others. Try as he might, trump can't stomp this out of every individual, world wide. People also have a very bad habit of not liking to be told what to do or not do. They put up with having to deal with this kind of crap at work because the need for money outweighs the need to tell the boss to shove it. But a stupid orange face demanding things he won't even consider for himself and his? Nah... it might work for a while, but there will come a tipping point at which no more is tolerated, IMO.
