Politics and Trump bashing:

Obama says Trump is 'exploiting' worker fears. True?

This helps me understand the otherwise inexplicable appeal of this man. He's channeling economic fears and anger, and providing convenient scapegoats. The thing is, how does that make any positive difference in his supporters' everyday lives? His "solutions" are diversions that only hurt innocent people while the real problems spread unchecked. Blasting your fire hoses at the brown guy clipping your neighbor's hedge is not going to put out the fire that's burning down your own house. Getting all pumped up with Trump's bad a** attitude fills you up with nothing but hot air. Can you picture him carefully considering complex problems and weighing practical solutions? Can you see him looking beyond his nose for any long term (or even short term) consequences of his words and actions? I seem to recall we once fought a war against the kind of stuff he's pompously preaching. Fascism by any other name would still stink to high heaven.
