This is what a moderate Republican is now. A card carrying racist who believes that allowing any progress by non-whites somehow diminishes his world.

He wants "to take it back".

I love that phrase. Take it back from who? When you get it back what do you intend to do with it. If you are talking about rolling back civil progress to where do you intend to roll it back? 1950? 1860? 1776?

I know that all this isn't in this particular story. But this is what is going on in these people's hearts. They have been convinced that blacks and immigrants have stolen their country from the rightful owners (whites).

Once you believe that racist, rightwing facism flowers.
