trump keeps gaining in polls despite crasy statements

Since it keeps working, he has to up the ante every time.

I fully expect that next, he will be saying we should use a nuclear bomb to wipe some of the muslim countries.
Earlier on MSNBC they were interviewing some of his supporters. One said that we should bomb indiscriminately in sirya because the can "reproduce" and will generate more terrorists. Basically, advocating for mass genocide. Yet, the interviewer did not call her on that. This is unthinkable.

it'd be one of the best uses of a nuclear bomb, according to him.

So, if this is now the new normal to call for exterminating people with nuclear bombs and it generates an upsurge in the polls, does this means that we are the anomaly ? I cant understand where we went wrong and how so far right the country has plunged. Was it a slow drift starting back during the Reagan years or was it because of the election of president Obama ?
