This kind of unhinged, monstrous, and dangerous behavior is acceptable to Trump supporters because he has legitimized it. Whether they are actively engaging in it or remaining silent in the face of it, they are culpable.

Whether it’s last week’s Guardsmen shooting or yesterday’s mass shooting in Stockton, there’s too much damn gun violence in this country. While I'm praying for the victims and their loved ones, this is not enough.
The US is the only advanced country to have this level of gun violence. Enough.

"The higher you go up the political ranks, the more likely it is that people will see Trump not as an object of idolization but as a tool for them to achieve their own goals; they follow him only so long as they’re something in it for them."
More and more elite Republicans are realizing that their interests and Donald Trump's are diverging, which is why we'll see more of them breaking with him in the coming days.
