5. I doubt it covers the stuff you raised, there's a determined effort to ignore the ISMs.

It should be alarming that Trump managed to beat out Kasich and Rubio in a primary, and go on to win millions of votes in the GE and take the Electoral College.

People actively voted for mean policies against vulnerable groups, hoping to benefit in the process, while ignoring Trump's calls for a tax cut on the rich. Folks willingly deceived themselves about Trump because immigrants, and muslims and brown people and liberals and whoever else they've got an axe to grind over....Few in mainstream media, and fever still in Cable News Media, have let these facts touch their "economic anxiety" narratives.
