Well ,About the name 'Trump'.
I'm starting to see 'Trump' (the word) more as clickbait. For some people it's a way to get attention viewers views and even build their channel. Because Google/YT has decided to rig the searchresults a long time ago (aka Algorithm) Being Liberal has it's privileges.
So I'm wondering is every Liberal really a liberal ? Being anti Trump can be lucrative , whilst being pro-Trump might end up in getting buried in the search results.
So couldn't it just be that if one says 'I HATE TRUMP' one actually means 'I WANT TO MAKE MONEY WITH THAT MEME'
Memetics is the study of information based on an analogy with Darwinian evolution. Proponents describe memetics as an approach to evolutionary models of cultural information transfer.
The term meme was coined in Richard Dawkins' 1976 book The Selfish Gene,
So an analogy , A 'unit of culture'/idea that is 'hosted' in the mind of a individual is like a gene of the individu of a certain spiecies
Müllerian mimicry is a natural phenomenon in which two or more distasteful species, that may or may not be closely related and share one or more common predators, have come to mimic each other's warning signals. It is named after the German naturalist Fritz Müller, who first proposed the concept in 1878
In America, we have a legal concept called “protected classes“ which was established by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This concept protects against the discrimination of people based on race, color, religion, national origin, age (40 and over), sex, pregnancy, citizenship, familial status, disability status, veteran status, and genetic information. These are morally immutable concepts to the average Western citizen.

Liberals have no power in this country. All the liberals have been vanquished from government in 2016. Republicans now control every level of government from local to the presidency. What more do you want?
As far as I can tell, pro-Trump sites like Infowars are making a killing.

They still have almost the entire education system from K-12 through University. Hopefully that can of worms will be unmonopolized one day though I highly doubt it.

How is that possible when Republicans control the vast majority of State Governorships, State Legislatures, Mayorships, school board positions, etc? You really believe that it's liberals who control the elected and selected school boards in all of the strongly Republican controlled counties and cities?
It's happening equally on both sides
You're bubbled in man. Pop that thing and clear your perception of things a little.

That's the joy of choice. Your kids would not have to attend one of those. You could send them to the local public school for the same high quality education that sees so many functionally illiterate today!
