Because people are crazy in somewhat similar ways to then a lot. There is a saying: "Two Steps forward and one step back" I think Trump was the one step back into the racist 1950s again.
The problem with this is the 1950s killed a whole lot of people either by getting black people hung in their front yards or beat to death by police in the south. In fact, when I was in High school football players would go out Friday and Saturday nights and beat up Gay and Black men in Hollywood nearby Glendale where I lived then. This made me sick when I found out this sort of thing went on in my High School and likely from other high schools around Los Angeles back then.
So, this sort of racist and anti-gay behavior was still going on in the 1950s and 1960s in the Greater Los Angeles area back then. And then the Watts Riots began and I watched the smoke coming up because it was about 10 to 20 miles away from where I lived. So, all this really black smoke rose up out of Watts back then when I was in High school and white men were out in the hills of Glendale practicing shooting their rifles in case any black people came into Glendale then. White people in this sense were much scarier than Black people (at least in Glendale this was true).
So, I was glad that black people didn't come to Glendale because they wouldn't hav survived these white men with rifles at that time.
