This is why people should start using Tor alongside their regular browser every day, even if it is for trivial things. Eventually it’ll be the difference between life and death for some poor bugger and the least everyone else can do is provide a bit of obfuscating cover.

Unfortunately the very fact of him being a black man caused a very large minority of people to lose their minds. And Trump was able to speak to those people.
If it were not for the fact that he is facing a great number of legal challenges Trump would storm the Republican primaries. In fact he still might.
