Trump didn't just infect the GOP, he franchised it. Now every Republican candidate is a cheap knockoff running on grievance and audacity.

The only real thing that drives the MAGA base is hate and racism. At their core, that's what fuels them and gets them through the day. Donald Trump revealed it and showed us all that deep down these cultists just want to inflict pain on people that don't look like them or worship their god.

So, in order to appeal to that base (because it's very profitable), Republicans have had to embrace being overtly racist, transphobic, Islamophobic, homophobic, etc. All the things that Trump and right-wing propaganda have brainwashed them into fearing and hating for decades. They are deplorables.
