     What we are seeing is the underlying antisocial current of America that 
now has a champion in the White House.  In the book "The Long Emergency", 
author James Kunstler describes what might be the result of a number of global 
calamities taking place all at once, breaking down the social disorder in a few 
areas of the country.  One of the worst would be in the deep south, where the 
racial hatred that had been suppressed since the Civil Rights movement comes to 
the surface, including lynchings, the result being total anarchy.  New England 
survives by way of Puritan civility.

     With a white trash sexual predator in the White House, those who subscribe 
to racial/ethnic hatred and admire sexual predators may see the unanticipated 
success of Trump as a nationwide open approval of all forms of antisocial 
conduct.
