Claiming that completely unacceptable behavior is normal. It's a slippery slope towards becoming official policy.

Many Trumpers love being called racist because they can easily dismiss us as being soft whiny liberals. They gleefully say openly racist things daring us to call them out, and they respond that they are very blunt and speak their mind and don't have time for political correctness.

They are appealing to the worst in human nature to manipulate people's fears and uncertainty.
