I think it’s always been there. I believe it’s only now that it has become “acceptable” to spew that poison. Trump in the U.S. is a perfect example: Mocking a disabled reporter; calling Mexicans drug dealers, criminals, and rapists; African Americans, "He was among the loudest voices behind a baseless attack on the legitimacy of the nation’s first Black president: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/every-moment-donald-trumps-long-complicated-history-race. Need I continue? Exactly when did misinformation become acceptable—and mainstream? Maybe when education became grossly underfunded? Maybe when “critical thinking” became excluded from our education?

He didn’t do anything besides tap into all the bigoted lies that white Americans have been told over the course of their lives - a combination of the racism that is imbued in most of them from birth and the mangled Zionistic, Judeo-Christian prosperity crap that brings a deluded sense of duty, purpose and certainty to tens of millions of Americans. It’s very easy to blame Trump but he only built on existing mythological structures.
I agree that Trump has awakened the bigots. I am saddened and disturbed by the percentage of the population that was just waiting for the catalyst. All these people whose ancestors emigrated from Europe , all these people whose ancestors brought people from Africa in chains as slaves, all these people whose ancestors slaughtered and cheated the indigenous people from their lands. THESE are the self righteous people who are now dictating to the population?? If Jesus could see what was happening in his name, he would never stop throwing up. Happy Easter
