For any other politician at any other time it would be career ending. Yet millions of our fellow citizens don’t just give him a pass for his slavish devotion to the antisocial ravings and actions of these men, they actually cheer and applaud when he invokes them.

One way or another, through election defeat or provenance, Trump will be gone soon, but those millions who embrace him will remain. That is a frightening prospect as when he’s gone there will be a vacuum created and what vile creature will they find to fill it for them?
