    Last night stoked an "us vs them" paradigm. If you're in Trump's "tribe"--even if you had concerns about him--he's now the lesser of 2 evils

        @mattklewis To think that it took a protest against Trump to turn his supporters against "others" is laughable. Where you been, Matt?

        @mattklewis that's a stretch. I'm guessing Trump supporters already thought tan/brown/black people were already evil. That's the point.

        @mattklewis I suspect the majority of Americans, as in late 60's, look at situation and say "God, what is wrong w our country."

        @LizMair @mattklewis How much blame does @GOP shoulder for encouraging anti-immig, anti-POC politics?

        @Sajizzle @mattklewis Actually, GOP at large has been positioning as very pro-immigration reform up until quite recently.

        @LizMair @mattklewis Right, but I mostly mean post-08 GOP, which has fed into anti-POC sentiment in all sorts of vile ways. Birthers, etc.

        @Sajizzle @mattklewis The RNC autopsy was post-2012 loss, and so was Gang of 8.

        @mattklewis I tend to think this is true. Flipside is I do see and hear people who were open to Trump who are like "uh, all that looks bad."

        @ASFried @mattklewis I'm aware. I just think here, Trump = Wallace, and someone else = Nixon. Maybe Hillary (scary!)

        @mattklewis Besides a few anecdotal exceptions I don't this moves the needle in a major direction. (Will concede if facts prove me wrong)

        @mattklewis Respectfully disagree. This rallied people and reinforced positions, but I'd argue the ultimate sides were already chosen.
