The recent allegations regarding extensive Trump and GOP complicity in 1/6 are both shocking...
…and completely unsurprising.
Is there a word for that? Trump did it all the time. Normalizing the grotesque, the horrific. From the very moment he went down his stupid fucking escalator in June 2015 to call Mexican immigrants drug dealers, murderers, and rapists, and it got worse from there.
Scratch that, go further back, to 2011 when he promoted Birtherism on mainstream media platforms, and it got worse from there.
No, scratch THAT, go further back still, to 1987, when he placed multiple front-page ads in New York newspapers calling for the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers who had been wrongfully convicted for the brutal rape of a jogger in Central Park. And it got worse from there.
It just keeps getting worse with Trump, and the Republicans in general, from Nixon to Reagan to Gingrich and the Bushes and Cheney to Palin and the Tea Party crazies, to Trump and all the literal Nazis and the QAnon fanatics and all the other MAGA cultists...
Republican/Trump/Right-Wing Horror: always shocking, never surprising.
