That is an interesting perspective on this. We can't break those old stereotypes about each other without some kind of intercourse between the people of both civilizations but Trump and ISIS/Daesh have the same goal, stop the non-military contacts from taking place. The goal of each is a permanent state of war and they're both being successful. The other candidates don't appear interested in changing that dynamic much though.

Too tough to put that dynamic on a bumper sticker... or your hat.
It's not even history repeating itself, it's uninterrupted continuation.
That long article I linked in post #101 shows the rules and methodology of isis/isil.
