I can easily and definitively demonstrate once and for all who is "responsible" for the rise of Trump, using mountains of anectdotal and empirical evidence:
You.
You and every Democrat who deflects, excuses, and condones lawless behavior and the coarsening and lowering of standards in public and political life.
You and everyone like you who laughed and cheered on The Clintons as they avoided responsibility for their innumerable crimes and bad acts, cheering them on like the crowds assembled on the Freeway Overpasses as OJ and AC drove by.
All of your acceptance and even condoning of rank incompetence and blatant corruption at every level of government. All of your hoots and agreements at the hyper-partisan, hyper-divisive rhetoric employed against "the enemy", your fellow citizens. All of your nods at the racebaiting, all of your parroting of ridiculous fantasies your side dresses up "conventional wisdom" and even passes off as "statistics".
All of your smug taunts and pitiful justifications as Obama obliterated the separation of powers and acted lawlessly.
You created Trump, by rubbing the noses of a large swath of the population in the gargantuan piles of excrement your team has left on the political playing field.
So now, a segment of the opposition has thrown principal, as well as logic, reason, and good taste overboard in an attempt to WIN at any costs, by condoning the same tactics that have been employed without consequence by your side for 25 years running.
So, now you know who is responsible for Trump. YOU ARE.
Rabble rousers on the right who inveighed against the "Republican Establishment" and their inability to waive the laws of Physics and the Constitution merely expedited his rise.
I expect no serious attempt to refute any of this (as it can't be refuted), just the usual ad hominem (@00aubie , @KilgoreTrout) , straw men (@OneWing ) , and the other usual pathetic deflections dressed up as argument.
