Of course the crazies predated Trump Sane republicans gave a wink and a nod to the nutcases that emerged when Obama was elected because they thought they could ride that tiger back to power. Instead it led to Trump. But Trump is more than that. He is all of the stupidity of the Teatards in every way it is manifested, plus he is the deeply flawed, narcissistic, lazy, incurious, impulsive, criminal, traitor we see every day. A transparent conman pretending to be a nationalist in its worst form, when in fact he is nothing more than a Selfist. A man who equated neo-nazis with those protesting against them. Criminal self dealings in his businesses, charities, inauguration committee, administration... it goes on and on. Again, this is way more than teatard stupidity. When Mueller's report is released and the extent of Trump's crimes are known, by then maybe the GOP in the Senate may just say fuck this criminal and get Pence in there. Trump will be having a meltdown of epic proportions at that time. His instability scares the shit out of everyone now, imagine then. It's possible ewnough senators will agree to put a stop to this menace. And Pence certainly wouldn't be imposing the agenda you listed above.
