Mostly, I agree. But there's a subtle bigoted undercurrent to much of Trump's support. I'm not say all or even most of his supporters are racist, but as the article highlighted, he used dog-whistles very well ... and enough dogs came a-runnin'.
Me, I regard bigotry as stupidity.
Yea but 45 simply improved on the dog whistle tactic the GOP had been using for decades. Fox was using that dog whistle crap long before 45 considered running. But the GOP really shit their pants when the black guy won.
