17. I've always maintained......

Nov 5

I've always maintained that Trump is a reaction to having a Black President.
People who I knew all my life & who I thought held the same views were deeply disturbed by that. Oh they wouldn't say anything out loud or they'd make snarky comments but it really bothered people who I thought were liberal. Therefore "Let's put a real White Son of a Bitch in there & show 'em". Racism is taught & ingrained in them despite an otherwise liberal viewpoint.
You can't go wrong campaigning on race in the USA.
