You Knew Who Trump Was When You Endorsed Him, Republican Leaders
You will never live down what you’ve done.

You knew. You all knew. You knew the whole time who and what Donald Trump is.

Your voters elevated Trump nearly to the White House, and he may yet make it there, in spite of everything. They did so because you have primed them for Trump for more than half a century. Half a century of barely concealed appeals to racism, of fomenting fear and hatred and coaxing the worst instincts out of enough voters to gain power. Years of nurturing ― on AM radio and cable TV and the internet ― a propaganda machine that encourages ignorance, mistrust and anger.

You have lost control of the golem you created.

You made promises you knew you couldn’t keep, and your voters finally lost faith in you. Now, they’re turning on you.

They follow a man who doesn’t even share your beliefs. You’re learning just how little those voters cared about conservatism and how very much they cared about stomping their boots on the throats of people who don’t look like them or love like them or think like them. You made this possible by making villains out of African-Americans, Latinos, LGBTQ people, the poor.

1. Years of nurturing ― on AM radio and cable TV and the internet ― a propaganda machine

Nurturing? More like bought and paid for by Republican wingnuts. Hate and divisiveness remains a strategy, othering a political tool, and jailing millions a voter suppression tactic.

IMO this is why America now stands on the brink of electing a fascist strongman into the white house.

Oh and a morals-free sexual assaulting pervert to go along with the Il Duce longings of Herr Trump.
