The earlier Republican extremism of Reagan will still need to be overcome before we can get back to progress after 40 years of regression and decline. We have sunk so far now, that more than one ideology or prejudice needs to be overcome before sanity is restored to the USA.
No doubt, however, that getting past the first racist hurdle, however, will help us get past the second neo-liberal one, since there is some overlap between them.
Racism is now and always has been directly tied to the Democratic party and that will become more and more clear as time goes on. You have no other alternative than to go along and feed racism because those who use racism and rely on racism and exploit racism represent a considerable amount of money and power within the Democratic party these days.
Fortunately your and Trump's strategy to pin your own failings on your opponents is quite transparent.
