Trump is merely a prop to them. They sound like Tea party religious people and armchair 1st and 2nd amendment warriors at best. They like the freedom of speech idea when it's their (white) speech. They like guns when it's their (white) guns. They want prisons for brown and black peoples. Some of them sound genuinely stupid, with "God protect President Trump" crap. They are very gullible to conspiracy. They are bigots, and what many of them actually share with certain of the left is a lack of understanding how white supremacy is reflected in..everything.

Trump,with his gross ignorance must seem as one of them, despite the fact he only shares the overt idea or hidden idea of racial supremacy and male entitlement.
