I think it's important to remember 2016 in the context of Clinton being perceived as more of the same
This is hardly an excuse. Even before MAGA became even more unhinged, Trump was spouting some very damaging stuff that was more of the same.... but worse. Like not being a politician..... yet has been dipping into politics for years. Or the, "Im a successful businessman" false routine he still banks on.
Also Trump capitalized on several things that had less to do with being more of the same. Including the country hating a black man as president given he spent 4 years prior claiming the Democrats were supporting an illegal immigrant for President, who apparently was a Muslim Atheist married to a man. Then after a black man, we were going to follow up with a woman?
