The sell of fear is a strong force in politics, and even outside this country, in human history worldwide, that political sell of fear can lead entire societies down very dark roads. I think this unfortunate part of or species is that once we get used to a pattern, a social norm, we fear change and all it takes is a politician to say evil things like "I got your back, we are the true ones, we won't lose our spot, it is their fault, they are destroying us, and I am the only one whom can save you. I will put you back on your rightful place on top."
And the further out you get from a horrible event, the people whom lived it get old and die so fewer people live to serve as a reminder.
It is important that we do not sugar coat our history, and not gloss it over like we had for far too long.
You've been wrong about every aspect of trump including his election to POTUS. what make you think you have any clue as to how he works or how he got to power and will stay in power? the world is not black and white as you and yours suppose. when you get that (not everyone is a bigot who does not do things the way you do them) you'll begin to understand why Trump is in office and why your guys aren't.
I do have every damned clue as to how he works.
Scapegoat and vilify anyone whom dares question him. Scapegoat and vilify entire races and religions. Blame everyone and offer yourself up as the only solution.
Not my fucking fault you cant see that he is nothing but an asshole pathetic bully.
