This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

Disgusting. Jews are taught repeatedly to welcome the stranger. In a time of rising antisemitic violence, the Trump administration wants us to sweep that aside to get security grants. www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-le...

This is good, and we need more of the ~35% of Americans who are wedded to Donald Trump even still to have the same eureka moment as this man.
Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

She bragged about getting endorsed by Dick Cheney
All the complaints about her campaign are basically stupid nitpicks and the people convinced they’d have changed EVERYTHING by adjusting the words in her ads or whatever are out of their minds. Trump’s support was built out of years of irresponsible false nostalgia for his hellish first presidency
