The heavy racism on the right, always permeating everything they're about, just increased exponentially over 8 years until it absolutely had to be expressed openly. That Tiki Torch Nazi march in Charlottesville was one of the symptoms. They just couldn't stand having a man with such dark skin in the White House, their hierarchy completely toppled. Black and brown people need to be taught and carefully led, dontcha know, they can be nice enough but don't know how to act.
I know how deeply ingrained this shit is, I grew up with those people (and fled as soon as I'd saved a few bucks).
Gawds, I think I threw up a little in my mouth typing out that mindset.
