There's the rub. Being racist or defending racism, whether knee jerk or out of a genuine conviction, costs Johnson nothing. The only thing that could cost Johnson his government job is..you know...governing.
What I mean by the traditional gop is what the reich wingers now call "the establishment". The guys who had to cover their bigotry up with the fig leaves of baby kissing and folksy stories. The guys who are announcing they will no longer seek reelection or have already been primaried by loons. The attempted coup ultimately failed in the us as a whole, but it has definitely succeeded within the ranks of right wing us politics. Honestly, I think this was always going to happen, I'm just glad I don't sound like a loon anymore when I talk about it.
