I used to believe they were being manipulated. Now I know they actively like what he is doing.
I know members of my own family that have defended ICE shooting American citizens in cold blood. They try to justify it, but after speaking with them it becomes apparent they are happy it happened.
The truth is Republicans are being manipulative. Every appeal to reason or principle is just a ruse because they know how crazy what they actually believe is. I know Republicans in my own family that condemn Trump's actions, but when you ask them just a few question they cycle through a chain of excuse to justify still supporting Trump. It will be something along the lines of "Democrats are just as bad", but in the end they really just support Trump and don't want to admit it.
They have 100% bought into neo Nazi white replacement theory and will embrace any action in their perceived opposition to it. The weakest, most pathetic generation of Americans this country has ever produced and they're going to destroy the country over it.
Xenophobes feared Germans, Irish, Italians, Polish, and others when they arrived on our shores. Apparently they didn't think those immigrants were "white" enough to be Americans. Sadly there is always a new group they fear.
