That's one of Trump's biggest strengths.

20 years ago, people would call other folks on really terrible opinions, so the Right had to use dog whistles like 'law and order' when they meant 'string them up.'

If MAGoos knew that they'll have to engage randomly with folks throughout the day, they'd automatically rein in the crazy.

While you're on your phone looking at cat videos they're feeding each other's hatred.

Look at it this way; back in 2002 era folks were making fun of the overly decorated flag cars some 'patriots' were driving.

A vehicle done up full Trump style, with full size flags and a dozen signs, would have been a laughing stock.
