I don't believe they're all cut from the same cloth, either, and I never said anything like that. I said they were all willing to tolerate Trump's litany of disqualifying deficiencies and outright bigotry, which by definition of being a Trump voter is true. That's not "demonizing" the opposition. It's the simple fact of the matter.

And I sure as hell am not going to go looking for excuses for why that's OK. It's not OK.

We can talk about how Trump appealed to desperate white people by lying through his teeth (out of ignorance) about how he, as the great strongman, would "fix" everything. The fact is that Barack Obama made energetic efforts to address the plight of wage earners reeling from the Great Recession but was thwarted by Mitch McConnell's and the GOP's strategy of non-stop obstructionism. Now watch as Congress passes a gazillion dollar stimulus because suddenly Reagan proved deficits don't matter.
