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.
It goes back before Fox was a gleam in Murdoch's eye. Nixon used the same tactics in his "Southern Strategy".
ETA: that's what I get for not reading the ensuing replies. Min got there first.

All he ever said was that he was the smartest guy ever and he had a plan for Afghanistan, for immigration, for getting Mexico to pay for the stupid, fucking, wall, for great healthcare that covered everything and cost less, and so on. "I'm the only one who can fix it" was one of his slogans and the lunatic racist fringe bought it hook, line and sinker.
Now the useless shit finds himself in real school and he doesn't have the attention span to learn.
He's definitely in over his head. The sad fact is that he's an anchor tied to our nation's well-being. Those of us opposed to his stance have to work double-time inflating buoys so the little bastard doesn't drag us all down.
