Every once in a while they just go nuts

I’m just going to leave this here:
Worth bearing in mind when reflecting on loyalty of DJT support:
– In 1932, in teeth of Great Depression, with discredited Herbert Hoover running against ascendant FDR, Hoover still got FORTY PERCENT of the popular vote!
There is, and always has been, such a thing as “the base.”— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) May 5, 2018
It is important to keep in mind that there has always been a right wing in America and there always will be. It is a large faction and every once in a while they get extreme, usually with hubris because they believe they are “tougher” and “braver” than the other side. Trump is the funhouse mirror of this line of thought.
They are not going anywhere. But they are nuts right now and they need to be blocked at all costs.
