Well that's the thing, they have been this way all along, they just didn't want the social consequences that came with declaring their racism, misogyny, and general misanthropy out loud. They saved it for the ballot booth, where nobody could see them.

it's especially fun since we know the psychology - attacks only drive you to identify harder in retribution if it's an attack on something YOU ALREADY IDENTIFIED WITH. So I'd love it if these dudes could spare us the bullshit. They were already this, were always going to be this.

This is admittedly anecdotal, but my grandpa heard from several of his center-right friends in the 1930s who were turned off by the Left’s attacks on Mussolini and Hitler. As a result, they have solidly started supporting them both.
