Trump being President is the facts not going everyone's way. The fact that there are some idiots that disagree is a fundamental part of the facts not going everyone's way.
The way I would frame it is, since Trump had no other way of being elected, he lowered himself to appealing to hate and fear, yes, partially based on racism.
I guess it might be argued that as many people were repulsed away from him by it as there were attracted to him. So who knows. I guess it's possible I'm wrong, that he won becasue of racism.
Some right wingers will try to claim that white folks that were repulsed by Trump on so many levels are actually somehow the real racists. Good luck with that. Either way there is way too much race and divisiveness around race in the picture, which is exactly what the oligarchs want.
facts are not going your way, bring out the accusations of racism.

Not enough constituency with "hate and fear" to get elected. His "other way to get elected" was by appealing to the working class and middle class by closing borders, bringing back manufacturing, and energy independence. Remember, Obama and the Dems at the time were talking about "managing the decline" and "how is Trump going to bring the jobs back, a magic wand?" Trump was a bit more optimistic.

True, but the oligarchs do not want Trump. They are using "race and divisiveness" as a weapon against Trump.

Maybe not forever. But while he's in he's doing alot for them, while the gullible suckers buy the con.
HeadSet says
Total bullshit and you must know it. Nobody is that stupid or that gullible.
If they know he's a conman and a liar, why would they believe he;s even trying to do this, let alone that he can ?
Appealing to a more deep hate and fear is more believable to me.

What do you mean "not forever?" The oligarchs did not want Trump elected, and do not want him now. Bezos, Gates, Buffet, Soros, Bloomberg, Koch, Cook, and owners of major networks and owners of national newspapers all have shown this.

All of us, at sometime in our lives, have done something that surely would have caused the Great & Mighty Patrick to feel compelled to punch us in our collective and separate faces. Not that there's anything wrong with that - feeling, that is.
Patrick the person, not so much. He's probably the guy you share a laugh in line with when someone at Starbucks gave their name as "Bingo."

By the way Ellie, I agree that Patrick is a very nice guy in many ways. But when and if he ever meets me, he has indirectly let me know he might be compelled to punch me in the face.

You didn't build that!
Too many Trump voters have the audacity to assert that Trump is not an absurdly divisive leader.
You didn't build that!

How so? I think discourse here would rarely, if ever, get to physical conflict for an in person encounter. I know I get pissy here, but I think a lot of people mistake emotions via text/writing like what happens here. Like I've said before, I'd have a beer with 99.7% of people I've interacted with on this site. I think most would reciprocate. We all don't hate each other as much as it seems like we do, we just disagree on some shit. Oh well?
