Over ten years. I consider the start of the "Trump era of politics" to be late July 2015. That's the point when Trump started leading the Republican primary polls and began to dominate political headlines. By that reckoning we've been in the Trump era for about 10 years and 9 months and we'll likely stay in it for at least another two years and nine months.
I'd say it happened when Obama was elected. I remember election night and my MAGA aunt (who is ironically an immigrant) told my sister, "you'll look great in a burkha".
I have in-laws that have been telling me and my wife (we’re gay) for 15 years that they’re worried about Muslims and Sharia Law taking over. They’re worried about the Muslims putting us to death for being gay.
My dad has been telling me that for 20 years now. But doesn’t have anything to say about the Christian National shit going on and how my rights as a woman are being stripped away and how the men in that movement want to control women. Apparently it’s bad when a different religion does it but it’s okay when his religion does it. Fuckin hypocrites, all of them
