Just now i was unable to Edit/Update this excerpt from yours into my first reply

"The Table for Trump’s Anti-Semitic Banquet Was Set Long Ago
A chronicle of the creation of Donald Frankenf'k.
[...] The former president, who is running for his former office, invites to his home one of the most notorious antisemites in the United States, who brings along a well-known Holocaust denier. So far, to my knowledge, the only member of Donald Trump’s cabinet to publicly condemn his former boss by name is Mike Pence. Nor, with a handful of exceptions, have top Republicans or the major organs of right-wing media, and even for them the indictment is mainly that Trump was sloppy about vetting his guest list.
P - If he were to win again, all this would be swept under the rug, just as it was the last time. This is the new normal. We shouldn’t be surprised. The ground for it was laid long ago.
P - It was laid when Republicans normalized Trump’s various ethnic bigotries. Remember when, during the 2016 campaign, he said he couldn’t expect to get a fair trial in a fraud case from a judge with Mexican heritage and Paul Ryan, who was then the speaker of the House, called it a “textbook definition of a racist comment”? Ryan endorsed him anyway.
P - It was laid when Republicans normalized Trump’s conspiracy theories. His birtherism should have been disqualification enough."

so am posting it here just too emphasis the fact that research has long indicated that relatively open slather on the ability to applaud acts of violence
such as mass murder domestic terror atrocities, and hate speech toward ethnic and social minorities, normalizes it, so leads to more.
