Trump is not destroying the Republican Party. He is embracing it.

[Thomas Hurt]

8. We have been headed down a path toward christofascist theocracy since Reagan.

The far right has held a place in the GOP since the civil rights era when the racists abandoned the Democratic Party completed and moved to the GOP.

The beliefs of the extremist right have been made part of Trump's drive to power.

Brichers, Patriot Movement, white supremacists (KKK, neo nazis, alt right etc.), Libertarians, militias, Aryan Brotherhood, Army of God, minutemen groups, Qanon, Randian acolytes, have been given a new voice by the Pig.

I think Trump believes they will give him enough support and power to make himself America's Putin.

I believe there is nothing more that Trump wants than to be our strongman.
