Over the past 30 years I witnessed society progress slowly. Minorities were openly mocked and ridiculed. Society progressed on its own and it became quite unpopular to disparage minorities. Trump may have made some people more comfortable but his legacy will eventually be erased. On a long enough timeline, everyone will have a gay friend or family member. Everyone has friends from different backgrounds. In the grand scheme of things If you don’t, you probably don’t matter.

You know what the common denominator is in everything you mentioned? Monied interests.
