text: When you spend decades stoking peoples insecurities, resentment and outrage, etc. ? I was thinking the article was about the republican party and how Trump was caused by them and instead, he begins talking about the democratic party. Granted, not everyone in the democratic party, just almost every democrat in power at the present time. The republican party is still the grand old party of Lincoln. The problem is that as democrats have moved further and further to the left, republicans have told us that they will stop the creep to the left and after every election, our leaders do nothing to actually stop this leftward creep. In 2014, almost every senator and representative ran on stopping Obama and repealing the ACA. When they did not even try, many of us got angry, and now they will be dealing with Trump. That is the plain and simple truth. No journey to the dark side, unlike the democrats with their choice of Hillary. Now that is the dark side.
