From my limited understanding of the present national politics, and my personal experiences in several spheres, I'd be inclined to say that the most salient thing about the present executive is that this is not an outlier or an anomaly -- across the two factions prevailing generally (as against each other), this sort of sensibility seems to be prevalent. And, not incidentally, each offers a world-encompassing explanation sufficient to constitute a comprehensive political ontology for its followers.
I have no way of knowing how many other wanderers there might be. Perhaps I'm the outlier, and the republic is entirely healthy with the single exception of the experiences of one of its citizens. But these experiences would objectively suggest the possibility of a more prevalent difficulty. The presumption is properly against the anomaly.
