I would like to think that I take a principled semi-nihilistic view of our representative government, as opposed to a knee-jerk emotional response (see "I have not forgiven the DNC" for the tone I distinguish myself from). That said, I do think that the fact our system allowed a clown to the highest office in the land is a point for nihilism. At the very least, it means a large part of our electorate is politically illiterate and prey for demagoguery of the ugliest, stupidest kind.
