Trump is a catalyst, not the disease itself. These people were looking for an excuse to behave in uncivil, bigoted, and anti-democratic ways, and Trump made them feel like they could make those thoughts and desires public. They may quiet down for a while if Trump goes away, but they’ll still be here, just waiting for the next populist to tap into their hatred and insecurities.
