BTW, I don't think that we should insult the 35-40% of the country that still supports Trump by saying that they are his "base". The base that Trump's racist comments appeal to is much smaller. Many who support Trump, his policies and his presidency are not his base; the simply hold their noses and accept the policies of Trump, policies that they believe have been good for the country.
Holding your nose and taking it, and just doing your job, is often time much worse than those who are the oppression. When everyone else is GONE, no one will be there to help those who claim not to be his base, but also support his policies. You can' separate character from policy, because it is the character that drives policy in the first place.
I often times find people like that much more reprehensible than those who will just qdmit, "I am prejudiced against [insert here], and I also support Trump. There is no shame for me."
Someone admitting that - especially those who think they are actually as slick as their words sound to them - Would be a positive step. But, I feel something against people who ride the fence while people are literally dying.
