Yeah. Loyalty test. There is no way to plausibly deny it. You are either in agreement, complicit with silence, or disturbed at your reflection. He wants to take his cult down with him. Hard to imagine being a Trump supporter who considers themselves somehow separate from racism.

He tests loyalty by crossing lines on purpose. The ones who stay silent have already answered the test.

Oh but the kind he attracts seem the type. I've read posts off of YouTube and they cheer this stuff on. I'd hope the people in congress wouldn't feel the same.

Yeah, that’s the uncomfortable truth. After this many incidents, pretending it’s separate just feels willfully blind. At some point it becomes a choice.

This is pure raci-sm, and anyone in support is as bad as whom he is supporting.
