The US is in a WHOLE lot of potential trouble. True they are a minority of voters overall, but they are a serious menace to the continuation of the US as a republic based on democratic elections. A weakness of democracy is that large numbers of voters can be convinced to believe lies or at least be manipulated, sometimes by very ugly propaganda to vote for people who mean the country great harm.

In a way, trump did the nation a favor by exposing how easily a would-be authoritarian could use propaganda to do almost anything while in office and ultimately do away with democracy in the US.
