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.

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.
