Racism, sexism and bigotry.

They really have a hold on us. The Republican party would truly be dead if they didn't maintain the status and power of all three.

Imagine a woman, person of color, or gay person with a similar background to Trump running for national office. It wouldn't happen. White males are literally given opportunities in this country that others aren't. It's not just favoritism. It's literally opportunity others are not afforded.

Can you imagine a married woman talking about grabbing guys by the dicks, discussing how weak and sensitive mens little balls are, denying sexual allegation after sexual allegation, disparaging members of the military, etc. It would be a non-starter.
