Why won't Trump supporters openly embrace their feelings about "colored" people?

7. Simple minded fascist tactic

It is a simple minded fascist tactic that has been used for a hundred years and it still works. Create an "us versus them" mentality, and the "them" might be African Americans, Jews, Muslims, Mexicans, immigrants, Somalians, liberals, progressives, it really doesn't matter. The scary part is how easily people can be led down the path by someone like Trump. Otherwise rational people toss their critical thinking skills aside and follow him on over the cliff. Maybe because I am old enough to remember what this was like back in the waning days of the Jim Crow era, that it seems possible to slide back again.
