What's happening now because ignorant bigots elected racist grifters into the government...

People's racist, bigoted views are preventing us from having better, smarter politicians in office. Those who will fight for productive, life-improving things rather than dividing us through their divisive, bullshit rhetoric while they lawlessly rob the country blind.

Cornell West, and the other so-called progressives not only refused to vote for Hillary in 2016 in the general election, but encourage others to do likewise.

We lost the Supreme Court for decades because of those IDIOTS.

You can also add Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, and the other jackasses to that list while you are at it.
