Many have said it, that being rid of him won't make his zombie followers disappear. The reactionary one third of the country present themselves at different periods in different guises or have their different factions take the lead: Their fatcats hated FDR; their old whites known as McCARTHY and later BIRCHERs hated the intellectuals; then they went into hibernation when they were discredited, until LIMBAUGH resuscitated them, with GINGRICH and the rest just riding LIMBAUGH's wave. LIMBAUGH clarified the Scorched Earth thing, NO compromise EVER, no Moderates. And DRUMPF has just been the most recent beneficiary that 30 year wave, not even knowing the ideological fabric, just relating on the level of grievance, victimhood, fear, hatred, and ignorance.
It's not a matter of our calling them Deplorables or the bridging the gap via "reaching out." And an "awakening" by strategized EDUCATION smacks of "re-education" or brainwashing and would take a generation or more. The Deplorables will be here when DRUMPF is gone. And with things getting more extreme, may resort to violence.
