A Legacy of Hatred, Culture Wars and Discord
The Mess Created By Trump Will Be with Us for Years
The U.S. president has damaged the political system so badly that it will be difficult to repair, even if Donald Trump gets voted out of office on Tuesday. The hatred and political discord he has stirred up will paralyze the country for years.

Trump was inevitable. Remember the woman waiving the birth certificate in the air at a town hall back in 2008? John McCain having to correct people at his rallies about Obama and temper the flames? The whole tea party thing? That eventually turned into Trump, and when he launched his birth certificate search, the tea baggers found their frontman, and Trump lapped it up like flies on shit.

And I will still say much of the issue was that Obama didn't look like previous presidents. Sure, he was democrat and liberal, but the paternal heritage drove them over the edge. People *personally* admitted this to me - and not just a couple people. Obama got elected, and to them America was no longer the white Christian democracy it once was (they didn't call it a Republic back then). Those teabaggers(now Trumpeteers) have been fighting this boogeyman ever since.
@trollslayer right wingers will never forgive you for putting a black man in the White House.


Your comment was right on.
@Ryderbike Isn't that sad?

I personally wouldn't give the man so much credit. I don't believe one man could "damage" any political system so easily and so quickly.
What we as Americans have to remember, and rely on, is that WE are a nation of laws. As long as everyone involved in the political system, from the voter to the politician running for office and everyone in between follow the law, the system can't be "damaged."
@BohemianBoo There aren’t enough Republicans to vote in higher numbers. Only Republicans can win is with independents. And everything they do alienates independents
@Ryderbike Keep in mind this is what everyone thought in 2016. It's totally possible for not enough people to vote for the Democrat due to lack of motivation.
@BohemianBoo The only thing I will agree with you on is that anyone who tries to predict an American election is an utter fool.
Plus, look how fast all of the other Republicans hopped on board with Fascism. What Trump really did is he let them know you can just try to end Democracy and not lose right-wing support. And now that's the new strategy. Trump led to new voter restriction laws all across the country.

If the economy of Usa is damaged , how is it that they are still the richest people among all countries ?
They are only hoarding more money maybe , and still desire more of it .

@Max41

We're not the richest, they just tell us that to give us a false sense of security, so we don't feel like slaves.

@calicuz Yes if living in Usa , then maybe not richest . The price of 1 kg potato is much different in usa than in nigeria . The cost of living is high , and tax also increase with every new government , but salary increases at a slow rate .
Nowadays China is funding global countries , Usa still asks from World bank .
