Indictment of American voters

I completely agree with a recent commentator who observed that the indictment of Trump was really an indictment of American voters.  So little understanding of democracy.  So little concern about corruption and lying.  Such willingness to abandon civility.  Such willingness to join a cult and follow a man who cares not about our country or its people.  One of the two major political parties in the United States is still in thrall to this con man, liar, and would-be dictator.  I don’t understand how we went so wrong.
