...not on the deplorable trogs he is pandering to but to the more moderate "mainstream" conservatives who may find his policies distasteful and barbaric but will not go on record to oppose or criticize him because they still find their own economic and social agenda dependent on him and his more extreme followers.

Again, I strongly suggest we compare contemporary American events with Germany between the World Wars. Most Germans did not agree with the Nazi program, and felt Hitler was, at best a ridiculous buffoon but they made his seizure of power possible by allowing him to get away with it.

I realize some of you reading this may be offended by my insistence on comparing our recent history to the rise of the Third Reich. Well, that is precisely the effect I wish to have, you really need to be offended--and hopefully, insulted. It won't be just the bigots, racists and fascists who will bear the responsibility for Trumpism. Those who choose to remain silent, make excuses and look the other way are equally guilty for what will happen. And even those who resist heroically will still have to face the full consequences if Trump and his allies succeed.

Like Germany, we too are a democracy; America will get the government it deserves.
