[quote=@mdk] The reason I asked the (unfair, dirty-trick, leading) question is, I mean, he's married to Melania -- a legal immigrant woman is literally in the white house. [/quote] Do you really think Trump's movement is pro immigrant? I don't think that Donald Trump, personally, cares about immigration in any organized fashion. I don't think that he, personally, is a racist. He is just pandering to his base, railing against Mexicans, questioning other immigrants status with his travel ban and restricting the number of skilled worker visas available. All of which says to his base, I'm a guy who wants America for Americans and not for all these others coming in. Make America Great Again is a clear statement that things went wrong when we got all multicultural and inclusive and we need to go back to a simpler vision. All of that inflames the passions of his base in a way that both gets him votes and encourages them to act in a way which makes life scarier for people like me. [quote=@mdk] Changing gears -- what would you say we ought to DO about the problem, from your perspective? [/quote] Well if I had a cure for racism or a way to jump start economic growth so no one felt desperate and alienated id be receiving my Nobel Prize right now. Voting for candidates who don't base their campaigns on groundless fear tactics would be a good start but I've given up on trying to understand voting patterns.
