        My unscientific polling of Trump supporters I know seems to point to an unabashed longing for fascist policies on all fronts.

        That's the basis for resentment of political correctness. They were always racist, but were censured for expressing it.

        Fascism gives their racism acceptability. It gives them license to scapegoat others for their faults, to feel superior.

        @JoyAnnReid Trump's actively trying to normalize daily acts of corruption that would cause anyone else's impeachment. Defend it?
