My going theory is that the TrumpGOP effectively runs on how mad they can make the other side, the more anger a nominee illicit from their perceived enemy ' liberal tears effectively' the more power it has in the movement.

We should continue to stand up for what's right, but I do think it's correct that MAGA feeds off it, and therefore the bigger transgression the more heat from the left it draws and the more MAGA will support the most horrific things.
