The news today shows many GOP are denouncing T and pulling their endorsements, even the RNC is supposedly going to pull the campaign funding to funnel it to lower elections in an attempt to staunch the backlash against all GOP candidates.
What I wrote in reply to someone else in this post, and a little edited here:
I've been bewildered for a long time in my state (Alabama) and how Trump has been embraced so much. I do know some of it is the promise to keep brown-skinned ppl out (make America White again) and he has promised them he'll build the wall and send Mexican's back and keep Muslims out. A few acquaintances even want us back to the time when the 'n' world was used and accepted *facepalm Not that they'd be happy being called names themselves but they want the 'right' to call anyone else a derogatory name - they bristle at the term racist and say they have free speech and can say what they want and it isn't about race.
The ones I know are family and friends and, sad to me, they don't _care_ that he has said or done the worst things and I'm not sure they even understand why he appeals to them so much. He can do anything he wants and as long as he is not Clinton, they don't care. I have noticed changes in character of these ppl and how they are being more aggressive, interrupting in conversations, unwilling to listen to any negative about Trump or their views. *sigh The holidays may be held w.out me at the family table - the aftermath of the election is going to be a rough time bc all this hate and anger is not going to go away.
