America has a lot of faults; the more I've lived outside the country the more noticeable it has become. But I refuse to believe someone like Donald Trump could win a general election. This is a guy who has no real consistent political ideology, is lacking any sort of real, robust debating skills, has no really ideological or practical framework for most of his policies...And frankly, he's just scary. He's scarier than some far-right European leaders. I have to believe that the American electorate would be repulsed by what he's saying.

If he does win, I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'm a Muslim American that's spent half his life outside the country, and most of that time I was living in the Middle East. I already feel terrified by the growth of the right here in Europe and if someone as flat-out bigoted as Donald Trump were to actually become the leader of the only country I've ever identified with, I'd not only lose all faith in our political system but in the very ideological fabric of our country. I don't think I ever believed in American exceptionalism or the American Dream, but I sure as hell believed in American inclusivity.
