In many ways, Trump is no worse an actual human being than Nixon was. He is just more obvious about it. After 50 years of running campaigns that were nothing more than thinly disguised racism, the GOP cultivated an electorate that is not just accepting the idea of stomping on others -- they demand it.
Trump is just the logical conclusion -- a fascist "leader" for a fascist electorate.
Or to paraphrase what someone else here said, "Today's GOP is proof that they would rather have a white dictator than a Black President." Been true since Nixon.
