"Demagogues will find ways to combine men in the service of bad causes....."

In the case of Trump, though, didn't the increasingly fact-free Republican Party of the 1990s and 2000s create a fallow field for his demagoguery to take root?

I used to really take a hard line against Republican office-holders who betrayed their oaths and their moral principles to support Trump in favor of their own political standing. I've softened a little bit, when I realized that I'm probably guilty of a softer version of that betrayal of moral principles.
