Hm... I think you may have a point about Trump being a scapegoat for Hilary's win. Never saw it like that, but yeah, you do have a point. His I don't give AF attitude, his lack of word filtering (than again, republicans are like that, lol ๐)... not something a presidential candidate should be proud of, lol. And he is proud of that, you could tell, lol ๐.
From his POV, I can understand running for president. I mean, the man's accomplished in almost every other aspect in life. The only other thing he wasn't really balls in deep was politics, so he probably thought, this is my chance, now or never.
He even was.

That's why I can't say anything bad about the guy, even if he is homphobic or transphobic or whatever. I mean, no one's perfect, he is like he is, and that's fine, main thing is, he's not a bad person.
Regarding the video, I actually presumed as much. Still, it was a nice video, watched it till the end. Facts are facts ๐คท.
But, did you notice what was the root of the problem? I have, just haven't phrased it like that and haven't analyzed the subject like the guy on that channel has - money. Always have been, always will be. It litelarly is the root of all evil and unfair. The more you have, the more you want. Actually, it's not exactly money per say, it's just that money manifests this human trait all too well. It's greed.
I've thought about this long and hard and no matter how I try and salvage things, to be as much as they are now, I always end up with the same conclusion. Radical changes have to be made in order for us to survive as a species. Our economic and social structures, as well as what (currently) defines us as himan. Well, maybe not that last part (at least not extesively), but yes, we do have to evolve and completely drop, on a species level, some things that we hold on to so dearly. Trouble is, humans only unite when faced with grave danger on a global scale, so... this will probably never happen in our lifetime, but if we were to survive, it must happen.
