There's another way to look at Chump's behaviour. The dangers of voluntary voting. Research shows that voluntary voting creates more extreme politics. Why does Chump do these things? Because the secret to winning elections in the US isn't winning hearts and minds, or bringing people together, or all that greeting card feel-good stuff. It's getting people to actually vote. Chump fires up the masses because he knows it will drive his supporters to the voting booths. It may backfire, he may drive his opponents to the booths as well, we'll see. We should focus more on strategy and less on personality, in politics, I think.
