In a political environment where voters were looking for a change candidate, rather than a status quo candidate,

Perhaps. But I'm just going to come out and say it. A lot of voters were looking for a racist. A white, male, racist. And that's exactly what they got.

Look at it from the white, male, racist perspective. In 2008, McCain lost to Obama. The guy at the top of the ticket (McCain) was a traditional Republican. Willing to work with Democrats to promote a bland Republican agenda. That didn't work. He wasn't openly racist. Heck, he probably wasn't racist at all. So they just stayed home. They sure weren't going to vote for Obama, and McCain wasn't going to pull out the stops to help them. So why bother voting?

In 2012, Romney lost to Obama. That uppity black guy in the White House, was still there. It's the "White" House. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge). We've got to do something about that. Romney isn't a racist, either. Sure, we'll vote a bit, particularly because we've got some local racists running for the state houses and Congress.

Along comes 2016 and a real, honest to God racist is running. Even better, he thinks a woman's place is at home, barefoot, pregnant, and doing what her man tells her to do. Couldn't ask for more. But wait! There IS more! Our racist misogynist is running against a woman! We gotta vote for this guy!

So finally, FINALLY, we've got a candidate we can back. Sure, he's a little shady, but they're all shady. If they weren't how come our people weren't winning more?

Viola - the "change" candidate wins.

But then they discover that their "change" candidate is also kind of dumb when it comes to politics. Sure, he gets a couple things done pretty fast, but then it all falls apart. Worse, he screws up a global pandemic and really pisses off the Democrats in the country. All of a sudden, Democrats are fired up to vote and do so in record numbers in 2020. (As does our side, but we racists kind of depend on those "woke" folks being too lazy to actually vote.)

In comes the old man who promises to right the ship. He does his best, but the racist vote manages to hobble him in Congress. The old man tries to run again, but is clearly not up to the job. The Democrats then do us a great favor. They put a black woman at the top of the ticket. The perfect storm for the racist vote and they misogynist vote to get together and defeat her.

So instead of an old, frail man, or a highly competent but black AND female candidate, we're back to racism and misogyny. Democrats are too stoopid to actually get out and vote. They'd rather argue over the process of selecting a candidate, and that argument causes way too many democrats to stay home in protest. So instead of looking at the big picture, they cede control of Washington to the racists because their own process for selecting a candidate was not perfect.

Now we find out that the old racist, misogynist guy is also a budding fascist. And once you elect a fascist, history tells us that you are not rid of fascism again until it is violently overthrown.

Well done, my fellow Baby Boomers. I thought our legacy was just going to be a screwed up planet. Looks like we're also releasing the largest and most powerful fascist nation ever known onto our children and grandchildren.

Hopefully, they can find a way to fix this mess.
