Fear of America becoming more brown gave us Trump. I have no problem with the browning of America. smile

Old white Rightwingers see elected Congress women like AOC as changing demographics of this country and are scared to lose their white identity. I do not. I'm comfortable being a white American who embraces the browning of America. smile

Trump’s strategy was basically thinly veiled white nationalism topped off with pie-in-the-sky New Deal economics and homoerotic visions of robust, manly men carrying lunch-buckets to jobs at entirely imaginary shipyards and ironworks.

Trump’s luck at winning the electoral lottery was decided by fewer than 77,000 votes spread across three states, and involved such a wildly improbable set of circumstances which is will not be repeated.

In the three years Trump has been president, Trump only appealed to his base, and has not expanded his base. Given the average age of his supporters, many tens of thousands have died off due to old age or have died due to the high incidence of suicide in rural America since Trump was elected.

Trump is a one-term president. If the Republican Party can't do their job in the next few weeks and remove Trump, the American people will in November 2020.
