” Alternatively: some people thought electing an African-American president meant we would stop hearing about racism all the time. Apparently, it actually meant we’d never stop hearing about racism.
This made voters skeptical about Hillary’s claim to be a uniter. Voters felt like she’d just continue the fragmentation and Balkanization of the Obama era.

Funny this should be brought up, I was on that same thought wave earlier today. Which sent me searching for the number of riots that have occurred since 2000. What I found was there were 12 riots between 2000 and 2008, there were 25 riots between 2009 and 2016, most occurring in the last 4 years. And the reason I wanted to know this is because I just KNEW this morning I’d wake to read about riots being waged in the bigger cities. Sadly, I was correct. There has been so much division created in the name of ‘unity’ being shoved down our throats by the current administration, it has set our country back. The USA was beginning to implode.
