Exactly, Trump was just a symptom and a lightning rod. The GOP and their supporters is where the true problems lie.
Trump was nothing without their support. The focus on Trump is wrong I think, don't let yourself be distracted by him.
- Darmody 6y agoThat's a stupid things to say. You're saying there's a problem with 50% of the population. Don't fall for this kind of simplistic arguments. It's not helpful at all. Things are way more complex than that.
- dodobirdlord 6y agoMeh, there are definitely problems that exist in 50+% of the population. To claim otherwise is either to ignore history or to claim that we in the modern day have broken free of the trend. Either is more stupid and unhelpful than recognizing that the trend existed and continued to exist. Was it not a problem when the majority of the population was illiterate, or in the 1920’s when the majority of the population got their information from news sources that were wholesale fabrications? Besides, Trump voters appear to constitute something like 22% of the US population. That’s less than half of 50%.
- louwrentius 6y agoI think that the motivations of those GOP people, the people that back them (the wealthy donors) and also the electorate are really, really terrible.
