I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone.

This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.

Oh absolutely, Trump is the embodiment of the stereotype of an American. He is everything wrong with the United States of America distilled down and wrapped up in a cheap suit. He is such a characture of an American that finally some Americans are looking at themselves in the mirror and saying maybe we are this. Unfortunately half of the people who do would rather embrace the things Trump represents than face the uncomfortable truth that they're wrong, grow, and admit maybe the problem is coming from inside their house.
