> This mindset stems from eroding trust, economic struggles, and feelings of disrespect. Trump isn't the cause; he's its manifestation. Yep. If you read history - this is how things generally play out, when the prospects look too grim, for too long, for too much of the population. But labeling it a "virus", denouncing the counterfactuals, and hand-wringing about the horrible consequences are all dysfunctional wastes of time, while bad problems keep getting worse - because all of those encourage further "us vs. them" social divisions, while none of those do squat to address the actual causes of the problem.
