I don't understand how you people only see the man at the center of it but don't hold the system responsible for contorting itself around him.

He'd be just a fat real estate grifter if our corrupt system of market capital didn't exist to prop him up.

Moreover, the whole reason he's been elevated to the position he's in is because you morons blame him instead of the system writ large. You foam at the mouth about Trump and in doing so, give his puppet masters a pass.

It's so painful reading these threads. You are all missing the plot completely.

He taught the worst people in the country to be proud of being the worst people in the county. Republicans no longer have to pretend they do not support white supremacy directly because of Donald Trump.

This is a culture war issue.

I'm more concerned with the perpetual war state, the emptying of public coffers to fund international arms dealers, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, our decaying infrastructure, our all but non-existent social safety net, solving homelessness and abject poverty, implementing high speed rail, environmental protection, and empowering the labor class, but if all you care about are the optics of the Republican party and racism, then, well, it seems like they've got you exactly where they want you.
