It's depressing to me that so many on the right have decided that the whole "establishment" is so corrupt and rotten that the people they agree with are justified in defying established procedures and legal processes.

The glorification of Trump for being "unafraid to challenge traditional norms" was basically a way of saying that rules are for losers, or they're only something to hold against the other side.

Trump's boast that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters was far more revealing of his mentality than his supporters will ever admit. And their cheerful acceptance of his boast is certainly revealing of their mentality.
