I think you’re onto something there. The Rove type was tiptoeing around with the dog whistle shit, gleefully pretending not to know what he was really doing. This is the guy that put gay marriage bills into down-ballot races to help W, after all.

Then along comes donnie and he’s like a bull in the China shop, pretty much yelling, “you’re talking about the n[clang]ers and the q***rs and the broads here, right? Yeah, throw them in jail and I’ll grab the wimmenz by the pussy! Let me slap my name on some more shit, openly enrich myself, while I work on a golden ballroom…all while I start an even stupider war with a country starting with I in the Middle East.”

At least before, someone like Rove might be sort of tolerated at dinner parties etc., as an outed Republican. Someone like donnie running the party makes it very hard to maintain the peace between Republicans and normal Americans. People don’t want to be around Republicans now, in quite a few cases. People whisper to each other “you know he/she voted for Trump, don’t you?” and they are usually quietly struck from the invite…
