Tom Nichols in his recent article in The Atlantic had it right. Trump’s base LOVES his outrageousness, his racism, his misogyny, his immorality, his disparagement of military heroes. Because it’s an affront to the people they hate, and giving them the middle finger is great! Thinking that each new Trump scandal/threat to democracy/violence approval/sedition will turn his supporters away - “We’ll, they have to come to their senses now.” - misses the point.

@johnldeboer Trump cult followers are, by definition, unreachable. They have to be left to their own devices.
Hence my comment that this is a turnout election. The Democrats have to maximize their own turnout everywhere. Trump is maxed out on support right now.

@gshevlin But he’s gaining support among Black and Latino men.
