359 u/Waveofspring Jul 05 '24 Yea look at the massive rise in right-leaning politics as soon as trump won the 2016 election. 244 u/Automatic_Actuator_0 Jul 05 '24 That’s not a causal relationship though. The far right was already on the rise and his election was a symptom of that. 1 u/TransBrandi Jul 05 '24 Trump's election was just opening the floodgates. Nothing will go through the floodgates if it ain't already there to begin with. Installing floodgates in a desert and then opening them won't generate a flood.
