A very large proportion of the United States did not trust Hillary Clinton, and with good reason, and feared,with good reason, the 'Hispanicification' of America and all the cultural problems it brings. White America rejected the policies that place them last and some of non White America rejected the victim mantra in favour of self determination. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (18 Oct 2020 12.14am)

Far too much Brexit here but of course they haven't yet been realised as we remain in transition. The effect though is very far from scaremongering. The impact becomes clearer every day. The promised easy peasy deal looks a dead duck. Where are all the new deals that will replace it? I don't see a queue! I don't see anything that suggests people "feared" remaining. I heard a lot of emotional claptrap, but not a lot else. PR most certainly guarantees perpetual political stalemate and an inability to make timely policy. The advarsarial two party system is by no means ideal but if it is replaced, it must be with something workable and not a ball and chain to decision making. Completely untrue. it produces the need to compromise and irons out swings to the margins. Those who use it seem to manage pretty well. Trump is President for obvious reasons. A very large proportion of the United States did not trust Hillary Clinton, and with good reason, and feared,with good reason, the 'Hispanicification' of America and all the cultural problems it brings. White America rejected the policies that place them last and some of non White America rejected the victim mantra in favour of self determination. A large proportion that did not constitute a majority. Deflecting the blame onto Clinton doesn't address the issue of Trump himself. That the US political system no longer serves is true but Trump only makes that worse. He is the equivalent in US politics of taking bleach to cure C19.
