(9,088 posts)black president only because George W. Bush was so bad and so unpopular. If Bush had been on 50 percent approval, Obama would not have had a chance. So Obama was a reaction to W., even though that overlooks what a great man Obama is. Trump was a reaction to Obama. Had there not been a black president, then all those angry racists wouldn't have come out of the woodwork to elect Trump, who let's face it is a white supremacist and would never been elected under any other circumstance.
So it swings one way and the other. It is going to swing away from Trump. Fox News has a lot of power, but it cannot stop a tsunami that will sweep away the Republican Party when the time comes. There will come a time when half the people who voted Trump will be too ashamed to admit it. There will come a time when half the Fox News viewers will realize that they have been duped. It is already starting to happen.
