And voters put us here by giving Rs the Senate in 2014. It always comes down to voters choice (until full blown dictatorship)

I think coddling voters is at least a contributing factor. But also, what we see here now is happening in UK and EU as well: rabid anti-immigration anti-other sentiment by people raised to feel entitled. It’s not this candidate or that strategy. It’s more fundamental, and alarmingly so

Several years ago I watched a documentary about Steve Bannon. He has gone all over the world peddling right-wing politics.
