Without Trump’s rabid base the GOP knows their chance of winning an election in every state where the literacy rate is over 50% gets real slim. For a lesson in how fanatics take over a government, just look to the Middle East; Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt and others. The Taliban could not exist without the fear and cooperation of non radical citizens. The theocratic leaders of Iran could not exist without the fear of non radical Muslims. Yet in all these countries the average person just wants to be left alone, to survive. The true Christians in our country have the same fear of their radical fundamentalists or “dominionists” Chris Hedges calls them. And moderate Republicans would rather sit quietly while Trump takes their Party into hell than risk being labeled a Liberal by the rabid minority.
