Until Democrats address and fix the root causes of the corrupt political and economic system, we will continue to get demagogues like Trumps as leaders. There are less rich oligarchs than working people so to keep a corrupt system that benefits the top, the rich have to divide and conquer. So after the 1960s civil rights era, corporations planned to increase profits by outsourcing manufacturing jobs to drive down wages. Cheap labor built America and corporations need cheap labor today to maintain obscene profits. In America today, the top one percent own more than the bottom 90 percent. A country with such vast wealth inequality cannot survive without a scapegoat – black people. Instead of blaming the corporate overlords for the loss of jobs and lower wages Blacks were blamed. When Wall Street crashed the economy, the corporate overlords used the Tea Party to shift blame from Wall Street to the Black President. Sadly, both Obama and democrats joined the republicans in bailing out Wall Street but very little for working Americans. When low wage jobs replaced high paying union jobs the republicans used racial resentment to take congress in 2010. Then Trump came along pretending to be an outsider and added a new scapegoat- Hispanic Immigrants. Hillary Clinton was seen as part of the system that takes care of Wall Street and ignores the rest. Bernie Sanders drove that message and Trump picked up on it and many voters said why bother. But whites that see minorities as the problem vote in high numbers. Until Democrats get the courage to reform the corrupt system that benefits the rich and stop tinkering around the edges the republicans will keep using racism to win elections and another Trump will be president.
