Michael Moore's new movie: Farenheit 11/9 debuts today.
The movie shows how Trump stumbled into the presidency, how bad the country has become (not great,) and pleads with the populace to wake up and take action.
Moore derives the title from the day Trump was declared president, but in many respects, that's merely the starting point for a much more elaborate argument. His primary thesis is that Trump is a symptom, not a cause, prompting the filmmaker to explore the labyrinth of factors that got us here

Michael Moore is a brilliant film maker and one of America's greatest true patriots.
And he's right.
Trump isn't the cause of the racist / xenophobic / misogynist / fascist / anti-intellectual element in our society.
He's simply proof that they've been there all along.
He just drew them out from under their rocks.

he's right, there has been a right wing putsch underway since Nixon at least
Reagan got it going when he funneled most of America's wealth to the wealthy and decimated the unions, Bush poured gasoline on the fire by getting two more huge tax cuts through and starting an endless war in the ME to fuel US Imperialism, and the tea party traitors boosted this asshole Trump to president which is still hard to believe
this shit was inevitable given not enough Americans voted to stop the insanity
