Nixon was an old white asshole who ran the show. Reagan was an old white asshole who ran the show (sort of, he was pretty debilitated and just needed to be sort of propped up for appearancea). And Shrub was a sort of (at the time) old white asshole who ran the show. And they all had (have) old white assholes backing them up. Kissinger. Darth Cheney. Ghouliani.
It goes back further than that. Free-spirited actress Tallulah Bankhead said that the Puke party was obsolete. And that was in 1950!

I doubt this disgusting child abuse will turn as many Trump supporters as it should.
