Im not nearly familiar enough with background on the UK and Brexit to comment but I also do not think it was racism in and of itself that helped create Trump. The driving force behind equating all Muslims with terrorists is selling our foreign policies of torture, kidnapping, sending drones anywhere we want, etc.
This an interesting mind set of the folks that oppose Trump.
I look at our country and see a factionalized society with a failing education system and business leaving in droves resulting in a 20 TRILLIION dollar debt and deficits going on into infinity. Also, collapsing foreign influence, withdrawal from a world that desparatly needs a cop and an infrastructure that is undoubtedly the most expensive but is plagued with pot holes, falling bridges and schools that are aging and structural problems and needs everywhere.
This after the top politician in our country promised to spend just shy of a trillion dollars on the infrastructure on "shovel ready" projects. Of course the projects were not at all ready and the money was a pay back vehicle to reward the party faithful.
I see things that are wrong that continue no matter who is in charge.
Every organizational problem is either personnel, systemic or both. Since the problems only get worse, we probably have a system that needs a severe shake up.
Trump promised to perform this shake up. From everything I know about his business practices and everything that I've observed so far in his post election actions, the shake up is under way.
The old methods are ineffective. Why not try something that has been proven to work in other organizations that have proven to be both successful and profitable?
It can hardly get worse. What the hell have we got to lose?
