Trump represents the average American. That part is not changing and that problem is not going away. Joe Average said "Yes! [current mess] is what I want."

- maypeacepreva1l 7mo agoExactly, people saying Trump will be out of office and everything will be back to normal are incredibly naive. If current trends stay, Trump is going to be one of the better ones for what is coming next. The politicians in US are saying worst xenophobic, racist, sexist things and are still getting praised or even promoted to higher positions. At least for a decade, unless something big or drastic happens, nothing is going to change for better in US, politics wise.
- CoastalCoder 7mo ago> Trump represents the average American. If that were true, you wouldn't see such a deeply divided America right now.
- throwawaysleep 7mo agoFine. Median American. 2 out of 3 Americans either endorsed this explicitly or were ok with it.
- tallanvor 7mo agoNo. Trump represented what seemed like a solution to just enough people who were willing to change their votes from one party to another, and didn't represent enough of a threat to most of the people who might have been swayed to switch their vote away from the Republican party. The issue with voters choosing more right-wing populist parties is not unique to the US.
