      Having grown up in the 1970s and 1980s, when racial tolerance and women’s lib was hammered into me even via Sesame Street (it was just after the Civil Rights movement and all fresh on everyone’s minds) I am terrified of the possibility that our voting population is so obtuse that they’d be afraid of officials that are not all white Christian men.

      Though part of Trump’s popularity in his 2015-2016 campaign was due to reactionary offense to Obama. So we Americans may just be that lowbrow.
