      This is 100% true. And it's the people responsible for creating the real causes who are most eager to shift the blame to the symptoms. It's always easier to treat symptoms than underlying causes.https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/1056574785831034881 …

      For everyone that wants to blame Trump for the staggering political hatred in the US today, it’s worth asking why the same thing is happening across Europe and many developing economies. Trump is a symptom, not the cause.

      Trump is not just some random man, though, he is the President of the United States. He is a central factor, not the sole factor, but a key reason for why our nation is where it is right now. Do other factors exist? Of course. But he is both a symptom and a cause.

      Mistaking symptoms for causes - or obsessing on the former at the expense of the latter - ensures the illness never gets fixed.https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/1056574785831034881 …

      That's exactly what I'm saying. Trump's election was a symptom of a greater problem already afoot. His presidency, and many of his actions, now cause new problems that must also be addressed.

          overlooked here, or silenced here, is that causes we talk (or not) about are inseparable from neo-liberal policies AND presidents that sacrificed welfare of populations for benefit of their plutocrats, zionist, pentagon, oil industry masters. in that, trump is a side effect

          Angry white male travels country to find the problem... Makes book and film. http://Usaodd.com  I do think that book is relevant to today's issues. I think most of the root issues @BernieSanders does address.

          You want to address the symptoms of a symptom? Great, but the danger is this: one is lead to actions against the symptom which are contradictory to the treatment of the illness. In so doing, rather than healing a patient, one is merely helplessly groping in the dark.
