Maybe, they just agree with his racist shitposting? Sure, it helps them get elected because it’s on brand, but they did choose to rep that brand. It’s not like there’s a sorting hat.
What would it take to get us to acknowledge that we have a bigger racist shitwad infestation than we’d like to admit?
The racist thing has always been there. It got pushed under the surface and into corners and dark places. Trump has made it acceptable to be public and out and proud about racism, misogyny, hatred for the LGBTQ (and whatever I may have missed). He has not only let it into the light...he has helped it be celebrated.
As for the elected members of the GOP - playing along keeps that paycheck and all the perks flowing. $$$$ talks.
