One of the key questions determining how one thinks of US politics is rarely discussed: is Trump a main cause of US pathologies (so that removing him restores US politics to its prior healthy status) or merely a symptom of systemic diseases (which thrive & grow without Trump)?

That could be, but most of the evils people attribute to Trump - and most of the dynamics that led to his empowerment - are growing and thriving in many other democracies throughout the world that have little to nothing to do with Trump.

He further activated white identity among certain US voters following backlash to the first black president, according to Michael Tesler. So both in that sense, and much more specific to the US.

Trump is the sympton, the Democrat's reaction to him is the cause.
