    The far right have been stoking hate and resentment for decades. But before Trump they always tried to maintain an air of respectability as well as plausible deniability. Then came Trump and threw all that out of the window. Also he has a talent to spout any nonsense with utter conviction. That is perceived as authenticity by the people who feel left out by the political process and that are simply too dumb to understand any nuanced discussion.

          I and hate to admit it have read it all. And I never thought I would say it but one book made me feel unclean, dirty, and really question America so much I may find work elsewhere.

        Yep, he’s literally Hitler, just without the mass genocide (yet).

        We’ve always wondered how so many people followed Hitler, now we know

          There is plenty of genocide, war, and all that. It’s just done at a sustainable pace and mostly in places that don’t look like US soil. Hitler rushed and got a reaction. This time it’s going to be worse.
