"X is why Trump got elected" is just lazy shorthand for "displays politics or social tendencies I don't like". Did Trump really get elected because of an over-abundance of online articles writing about whiteness and cultural identity? I highly doubt it. There are so much more obvious factors: a weak opponent, easily exploitable economic anxiety, being the "Change" candidate in a charged election. The parent's comment was lazy kneejerk thinking and the fact that I'm here defending a rebuttal to such triteness is indicative of the perverseness of modern civic 'discourse'
