One Small Drumpfy Silver Lining [View all]

I know it's a reach to appreciate anything this clown is doing, especially the shittier stuff. But, bear with me on this one.

He's been all in on the need to be irrationally afraid of Muslims, right?

Now, in the wake of Orlando, we are seeing a fair share of Muslim baiting on the left, around the net and right here at DU. It's been mostly subtle and dog whistle-y, but not all of it.

Tell me, how much louder and less subtle do you think those voices would be if we didn't have the shameful example of Trump braying in the same vein?
