The Reich wing hasn't been even publicly civil in twenty years and have been up to beyond ruthless shit in the background for years.
Of course many or even most of them are racist (at least in the base, the pols are just circus barkers at this point probably some rebs among them like Wilson but mostly it is transactional) and it adds that particular element to their wide spectrum hate but they will hate any Democratic President in their own specialized way, for their own particular yet insanely phony ass reasons.
Hell, the racist would even be racist in unique ways for different black Presidents and sexist in various ways for each woman President and they will certainly continue to be absurd and wickedly hateful to any white, Protestant, male Democratic President.
They are stuck by the tool of their ascendancy, the wicked southern strategy. They must play to the American Taliban and the yahoo segment or they don't have any numbers sufficient to have real pull, even to obstruct. They just pretty much have to ride their demographic into the ground and it is going to be a rough ride and paying much mind to to them or coddling them won't help.
