For several election cycles the nationalists have been gaining more and more traction with the votes…..and that pimple burst when a black man was elected president and now a woman dares run for the office.

For too long that stupid have been basically “use against them” in our elections…..that is pathetic.

Instead of looking after this country it is all about the crazy ideologies of the Right wingnuts.  This time it has come down to out right superiority complex…..the bigotry, the racism and the total disregard for the Constitution something they accuse Obama of doing….funny how that works, huh?

Since the global financial crisis of 2008, right-wing populist, nationalist, and anti-establishment movements have steadily gained strength across Europe and in the United States. This expanding influence is evident most recently with the presidential election in Austria, the Brexit vote in favor of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, and the Republican presidential nomination of Donald Trump in the United States. Although populist movements of the left have also grown to influence mainstream politics in important ways, these efforts have yet to produce as strong an effect as right-wing nationalist movements have in recent elections.

Donald Trump’s success in taking over a libertarian-leaning national Republican Party and turning it into a vessel of white-nationalist resentment, anti-globalism, and authoritarian impulses is one of the most substantial developments in recent U.S. political history. Although most polls indicate Trump may have hit a ceiling of support short of a national majority, the possibility of an openly xenophobic leader serving as chief executive of a nation as diverse as the United States is alarming.¹ Regardless of the outcome of this year’s election, the social and ideological forces driving Trump’s rise will not go away anytime soon, particularly given his base of support among white working-class voters, a partisan media landscape favoring his brand of populist politics, and a fractured and leaderless Republican Party incapable of restoring discipline over Trump’s unruly forces.

Americans need to move beyond “gotcha” politics….the country deserves better than we are giving it by our thoughtless votes.

Me?  I’m thinking Green……..
