The rise of Trump I did not foresee, although any clearheaded person should have.

For entirely too long working-class people have been dismissed as not smart enough, their passion rooted in racism, guns, and beer.
These same people have not had a raise in their standard of living since the Reagan era. In the meantime the wolves of Wall Street have all become billionaires, while none of the Goldman Sachs crooks and others of their ilk who caused the 2008 recession have gone to jail. So it was bound to happen, the awakening of the working-class white stiff who is now even told not to retain the silly old notion that single-sex, multiple-occupancy bathrooms and changing facilities should be entered based on a person’s biological gender as opposed to the one they imagine it to be.

Your Say

I hate trump because he, well, because he breathes air.
And he adheres to the rule of gravity, and some other stuff.

And what's wrong with Guns and Beer? A bit of well directed racism doesn't hurt either.

Whether Trump is "Taking America Forward" or Taking America Back" was going to happen either with ballots or bullets.

That choice is still to be made.
