    Anyone still thinking of Trump as the cause instead of the symptom is kidding themselves. He’s been powerless for almost 4 years now and MAGAism is at an all-time-high. There’s a much larger reckoning America needs to face instead of pinning Trump as some sacrificial lamb.

      I’m not saying you’re wrong, but calling Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.
