Digby's take on Trump and his voters

It takes her a lot of words to get there, but here's the beef.

But the conservative movement is equally under pressure.  

They thought their years of carefully growing and indoctrinating the right wing of the Republican Party had resulted in a common belief in a certain conservative ideology, strategic vision and commitment to a specific agenda.  

It turns out that a good number of the people they thought had signed on to their program just wanted someone to stick it to ethnic and racial minorities and make sure America is the biggest bad ass on the planet — authoritarian, white nationalism. 

If you’ve got a man who will deliver that you don’t need ideology. 

And he doesn’t need democracy.

The mystery is why all these smart conservatives didn’t see this coming. 

They unleashed this beast a long time ago with the hate radio and the media propaganda and the ruthless politics. 

It was only a matter of time before it turned on them.
