They can and do. Trump's a cherry on the sundae. But let's face it... he's just a clown who conned a few million people. The much bigger and more ominous conversation Sullivan is ducking is what the fuck went so wrong that a guy like that got elected.
A sane, economically solid country does not elect Donald Trump to the Presidency.
And it's particularly important to remind people of the rot underneath which allowed Trump to win - cultural and economic - because a whole lot of apologists for that rot will be quick to pin blame exclusively on Trump after he's gone. You can hear it now... "Oh, everything was peachy, and there were no problems, and then along came Trump..." He's the perfect foil for the people who'd tell you, "What's the matter with the status quo? It's all great. Things can keep going like they are indefinitely!"
Uh, no. No, they cannot. And as proof that things are irredeemably fucked up, I offer this: We Elected Donald Trump President. Do I need a closing? Can I just drop the mic now?
