Trump outdoes himself with latest display of rank hatred and rancid bigotry
Our national nightmare will end when white Americans decide they can no longer tolerate Trump's racist behavior

I smelled the crowd gathered Wednesday night in Greenville, North Carolina, as they cheered and chanted “send her back,” even though I was nowhere near the mob.

I didn’t have to be physically present. Racism’s stink travels too well, enough to be offensive even over the distance that separated me from the white-hot, reeking bodies at President Donald Trump’s odious rally.

Those of us who know its pungent stench can sense it from nearly 300 miles away. We who came of age a half century ago in a segregated South — in my case it was North Carolina, not all that far from Trump’s campaign rally — can feel and be harmed by rank hatred without being in its physical presence. The sensations are always stomach-churning.

As I bore witness to Trump’s rally, albeit via televised news accounts and social media reports, I recoiled with a familiar sense of horror and disbelief. It was as if presumed-dead ghouls had come back from ancient crypts filling the air with what Vincent Price described as “the funk of 40,000 years.”

Apparently, that’s where we are in Trump’s America, a place where nationalist zombies masquerade as patriots and celebrate their white privilege with overtly racist chants led by the president of the United States.

1. I guess I have to add not all white people but really it's on them to make the change & the qoute

Imo tells when the end of trump will be .
Either he somehow attacks enough of them so he is rejected via the “now it’s me so I’m concerned” path
or they wake and see how bad his behavior is for the whole country

Even with voter suppression and interference , I think if enough change either way in both in purple new red states , he could be out in 2020 and that’s a start
