This is an informative piece. I agree with Mr. Mason's concerns about Trumpism. However, I don't think we should overlook the role of Canadian promoters of racism and misogyny -- people who have been spreading lies and fuelling resentments, using social media, long before Trump announced his presidential bid. The treatment of Redford, for example, is not explained by the US Tea Party & Co., but by its counterparts much closer to home.
