(11,495 posts)Fox news and talk show radio like Rush Limbaugh. They are the ones who have been feeding people a steady diet of hate, and republicans have been eating it up since the Clinton years. Rush made his millions from bashing the Clintons on a daily basis, and Fox, well we all know how sick they are.
They sowed the seeds, and Trump came along and took control of the whole mess, and brought it all the front, out in the open for all to see. Those people have always been there over the years since it started, but they didn't have someone like Trump to cultivate their hate, and use if for his own lust for power, and revenge. Trump has given them what they wanted, a candidate that supports their hate, their racism, sexism, etc and now the GOP is pretending they just don't know how this is happened.
Yes the damage is done, the question now is what happens to Trump and his followers after the election. Trump has done a great deal of damage to his image and business's and I expect him to find a way to fleece the "sheep" that he has following him to get some of his money back, one way or another. As for the sheep, well most of them are just gullible enough to give him what little money they do have in hopes the can still lead them into their fantasy world, whatever the hell that might be, but in a few years they will see through his BS con job, probably when they have all spent their life savings donating to him, and then they will be more miserable than they are now.
