Yeah, I agree that this was low-brow, but it is (sadly) very relevant to U.S. politics. (Oh, the snarky tag was "notactuallypolitics". And I will try to get a sense of what tags look like from a community perspective as opposed to just mine as I learn the ropes here.)
Donald trumps views and his appeal to a certain block of conservative voters is definitely relevant to US Politics. But there are posts that would belong in the #politics tag that address the same things in a manner with more context: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/does-donald-trump-deserve-news-coverage/398876/ But yeah, it's scary. I was at my daughters violin lesson today and two older people were talking about how right he was about Mexico and needing the "wall." One guy said, "yeah, well... he may have a certain lifestyle I don't agree with, but he's damned successful and it wasn't cuz he's a dummy. I'd vote for him. Anyone over Hillary."
Oh I get it, because fox news isn't news #realnewsisforsquares
