Yes, it is the continuous flow of crapola and bullshit that perhaps ignited the citizenry, though we still can't forget that more than half the voters voted for the congenital liar Hillary.

And what then? Another black President? A predominantly black Senate? Three black Supreme Court Justices? The threat is frightening.”<br /><br />As Morrison explains it, the subconscious fear of losing the “comfort of being naturally better than,” the comfort of not being followed in a department store for instance, was a huge motivator for many White Americans. <br /><br />Morrison argues that white Americans and particularly white men are so afraid of the collapse of white privilege that they “flocked to a political platform that supports and translates violence against the defenseless as strength.”<br /><br /><br /><br />i couldn't believe she said this, i read it on the huffington post, i think its crap like this that got trump elected. sdave1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206320349649487114noreply@blogger.com
