Root cause, IMO, is white people losing hope in their abilitly to get ahead, and buying into the Dipshit's scapegoating of "those people". Doesn't matter if it's due to stupidity, ignorance, or racism - he cashed in on AOT,K.

The US was garbage from 1945-1980 too. Its always been garbage. Occasionally it could be shamed into doing the right thing. Now we have lost all shame.

Goddammit, I am still happy to be an American, I couldn’t be more excited by the Squad, I think our future is as bright or brighter than ever. Trump has served us well in shining a light on all that we find abhorrent, C’mon kids, let’s put on a show!And no, I’m not being sarcastic.

Simplistic and wrong-headed view of the election. But hold on to whatever theory works for you.

Root cause IMO is latent racism that's been percolating just under the surface of our society for many years, finally made welcome to outlet by the forces that enabled a Trump to begin with.

People were saying "don't worry! Mueller has farmed out all the serious investigations to where no one can touch them" but many of us knew that was a load of crap. A lot of prominent leaders on twitter were saying it over and over, and telling us to calm down, and got their followers to call us skeptics hysterical. now they refuse to admit they were wrong.
