What Trump has legitimatized

I had a meeting recently in deep deep East Texas.
One of the participants arrived and was in tears.
She is a young, successful professional black woman.
She was getting gas and some redneck backwash said "Get out of the way you fucking ni#@#@er".
This, in 2016.

He has terrorized the country. I hope she can find her way back to see we are good people unlike those Trump followers.

By spewing his filth and lies non-stop what Trump has done is to embolden the racists and bigots to shed their pretense of decency to speak and act in their true nature. It is an open festering wound on the body politic now, but it will never be legitimate. That the M$M does not report and condemn these occurrences is an indictment of the low state their greed has placed them in.

On top of that, one fears returning an equal verbal insult due to the proliferation of guns in the hands of these haters.
