You know who ELSE came to power by harnessing the frustration of German people?

Otto Von Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm I? They used Pan-Germanic thought to turn a middle-tier great power into one of the three greatest powers on Earth, with a superb military and a roaring economy. This is actually good comparison for a Red Avatar to make, thanks!
Russian hegemony is not a "balance of power".

Russian hegemony is not a "balance of power".

Bismarck utilized the Three Emperor's League to forge a new power structure in Europe, then allowed it to dissolve. This renewed the decaying setup of the Vienna Congress, and prevented general war for another half century. So what exactly are your arguing?
Trump is no Bismarck.

The new Trump 'homeland'
 and the new battle grounds?




Sorry to burst your bubble, but Clinton won Minnesota, came within half a point in Michigan, and won Illinois by 16 points (it didn't even trend Republican). But I'm not one to keep you from your wet dreams.

Pulled from the article I think this is right on:

One other thing: Both Trump and Obama made white working-class voters feel a little better about racial anxiety.
They obviously did it in very different ways.
But I’d say that Obama made a lot of voters feel good, even proud, about supporting an African-American.
Trump made them feel O.K. about their “politically incorrect” reservations about diversity, crime and immigration.
Clinton did something very bold that I don’t think she got very much credit for: She challenged many white Americans to question implicit bias, and revived criminal justice as an issue. That may have been a bridge too far.

---- The  non PC  way of saying that is:
Political correctness is killing the country and people are sick of it... even some democrats.
Clinton shouldn't have called everyone---including Obama voters racist--- that is a bridge to far. 
"Racial anxiety" is totally unfounded though.
