i would have been more willing to overlook his manifold faults if he wasn't a fascist and GOP and if his policies all weren't so harmful to working-class types and minorities. if only he had at least not tried to destroy health care. if only he didn't [deliberately] nearly bankrupt the nation to give to the undeserving tax-shirking rich. if only he wasn't a stochastic terrorist against LGBT/minorities/women. if only he didn't brownnose the world's tyrants and encourage them to do worse. if only he had lifted a finger to TRY to make this a better country for the 99% and not just the 1%. if only he hadn't set us all against one another. if only he had lifted a finger to TRY to set a positive tone for this country.
As I have mentioned innumerous times, POC benefited enormously under Trump.
"Did not" doesn't "cut the mustard".
Who gets to decide this? Whose definition of "benefit" are you using?
The POC I know personally, and the community leaders I follow, all felt Trump set them back quite a bit in the areas they care most about.

What class would you say they are? Trump did pull historically high numbers of black and Latino voters for a modern Republican, largely from the working class, where I suspect your personal social group is leans more towards the professional classes that universally despised Trump.
Touché.

Trump happened because people are catching on that most of government is a scam and politicians are self serving frauds. Even people who don't like the man voted for him because he was an outsider (not a politician). This anomaly of a private citizen getting elected president will never happen again, the government/media complex have seen to that.
Total agreement.
Trump got in because of the absolute corruption of the political aristocracy, on both sides of the political divide.
Politicians are self-serving yucks.

An obscure US President. The nineteenth century post Civil War and early twentieth century produced many.
