13401509, youre forgetting the intentional massive voter suppression

and anti-democratic redistricting in 2010 and beyond.
plus a conservative supreme court gutting the voting rights act.
trump didnt show the republican party they could win with largely white men.
the republican party showed itself they could win by suppressing the vote of everyone but largely white men.
that preceded trump. trump didnt precede that.
dems would have regained full control of congress in 2012 if it wasnt for repub gerrymandering that took place during the redmap initiative after 2010.
those gerrymandered maps also led to statehouse majorities and state court majorities for republicans to institute *waves* of voter suppression measures that systematically targeted dem constituencies.
thats about as much responsible for trump as trump is.
