Q: The real story here is, "Why did the near entirety of the Republican Party get behind a Narcissist Ass like Trump?
A: Is it, they are afraid they can't win unless they can get a Hitler like following for their leader. A cult following that demands loyalty that disposes of the need to be on the side of right.
Introspection: They nearly did it because its those kinds of people that they've been marketing to for decades. It's like they reached into the fabric of America and by using fundamentalist religion and whiteness of the good ole days they lured every marginalized non progressive minded good ole day loving home town boy and girl right into the sheep pen.

Establishment Republicans will see what they did to the country by following the trend toward Fascism and will vote the other way, so good luck with that. The middle of the parties which is the block that's needed to win elections are getting all the information they need to vote the other way, so the only way to beat that is make it damn near impossible for working people to vote because that is what you do in Fascism right here in America.

Karma will win eventually.
