Trump wasn't inevitable but fascism coming to the US was. Both parties were committed to a dance that only ends one way.

I've been saying this for a while. You can't continue to increase the income inequality gap without taking people's rights away. This was going to happen one way or another. I have seen it coming for 20 years, but wasn't educated enough to realize populism and demigogary (spelling?) would be a part of it.

Yep, that's a big part of it. Even the good things Democrats did like the ACA were also designed to funnel more wealth upwards.

The liberals stopped worrying about the little guy and soon after stopped even talking to the little guy. Then the little guy stopped voting for Democrats. Fascists however are always ready to fill that vacuum. They don't do shit for the little guy, but they do make him feel heard.
