'It's exceedingly clear to anyone other than his most devoted sycophants that scapegoating minorities during a tragedy is an extremely gross move predicated on nothing more than pure politics.'
You underestimate how well this plays with the fascist crowd- each and every rank and file GOP voter. Never doubt the sincerity of their racism, misogyny, homophobia and religious bigotry. They mean it, whatever else they might claim when among diverse company.
Take a look at the statements, actions and policies of the fascist crowd at the local level- township councils, school boards, youth sports organizations, HOA's, out at restaurants, etc.
The rank and file fascists have been clearing the ground for the actions of the regime for decades.
The figurehead is never the real concern, he is a prop and a totem for the fascist crowd, by which they give themselves permission to be their best fascist selves. THEY are the real threat to our pluralistic democracy, and they've been trying to dismantle every progressive development for generations. It didn't begin with the figurehead, and won't end after he's well and truly gone.
I had written something, and after I had read it, I erased it.
I wonder if there has ever been a time on this planet when there was equity among human beings.
WTF
