Trump did not remake the GOP, he set it free.

[Swede]

Republicans condone it.

All of them built it.

1. Yes, the racism, cruelty, greed, and dishonesty were there all along. Trump just opened the flood gates

Actually was thinking that the other day. This is nothing new.

4. Conservatism at its finest

The Republican Party has been shitty ever since the “Party of Lincoln” abandoned the Black Americans in the election of 1876. They wanted to do business with the South.

5. So true

[patphil]

6. He essentially gave his base permission to be exactly who they always were.

By way of his hate and his position, he validated the hatred they already had. He became their hero; their god.

[Johonny]

7. He cut the head off the GOP

The ruling order of the GOP had used the rubes for years. But Cheney, Bush, Kristol, Frume etc . . . Shared very little in common with their base.

In a way, he has stolen the GOP from the politicians that thought they'd control and use the rubes for themselves forever. Now we're watching the old power slowly flee the party. The GOP really is the party of Trump. A cult of personality, low information, totally manipulated, but not necessarily traditionally conservative. More fascist, more angry, more controlled and managed than ever.

8. Trump Did Not Divide The Nation

It was already divided by FOXNEWS !

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. All they have EVER done is play to the fears of their MORONIC base.

12. Trump gave supporters permission to be their worst selves.

Trump supporters love him because he gave them permission to be the people they always wanted to be but had been to scared to. Trump set the hateful tendencies of his supporters free..

13. The core of the GOP has been there for many, many decades and became increasingly open.
