He didn’t do anything besides tap into all the bigoted lies that white Americans have been told over the course of their lives - a combination of the racism that is imbued in most of them from birth and the mangled Zionistic, Judeo-Christian prosperity crap that brings a deluded sense of duty, purpose and certainty to tens of millions of Americans.

In UAE and Qatar, the male citizens are generally happy.
Amazing what subjugation of women can do for a sense of virility.
