Sexism, racism and stupidity are baked into American culture and overlooked by many who don't concern themselves with the negative consequences of their existence.

When a man says he starts kissing women without permission and grabs their genitals as well, he is indicating that having little to no respect for women's feeling-- as it does when the same man pays off a porn actress and others to hide that fact he has sex with them while married and cheating on all three of his wives. When the same man is found liable for sexually assaulting a woman, accused of sexually assaulting dozens of others, and his followers still find him fit for office, that is due to sexism.

When the same man talks about 'black' jobs as those at the bottom rung of society, that is racist. When that man says the brown people coming over the border are "poisoning the blood" of our country and are criminals despite statistics indicating that most illegal immigrants are merely seeking jobs and to escape persecution in their native lands, that is racist as well.

When the same man who touts tariffs as necessary against evil China, has $3.00 Bibles make in China and sells them to Americans for $59.99, who rush to buy them, that appears stupid to me. And when that man bends over backwards to compliment dictators and autocrats who rule with an iron fist, just because they flatter his inflated ego, that appears pretty stupid as well.

Trump embraces sexism, racism and stupidity as part of his platform, but his followers don't seem to care as long as those elements are part of an American tradition.
