He's been campaigning on a racist platform since before I was born, pretty sure. People who mind racists already dislike him and people who hate anyone who doesn't look like them already like him.
@als@moderatecentrist he's always campaigned using plausible deniability though. It's just *those* people. You know, the people we don't like. Not people who are already here. *Good* immigrants who we *approve* of are ok.
This kind of disproves that and removes the figleaf for (some) people.
Personally I'd go with the fact it's just straight up horrendous bullying. That's a harder sell for someone who says he's just fighting to protect all us poor weak victims who already live here.

He's a piece of shit, but this stuff is only going to increase his appeal to his supporters. They like him because he's a piece of shit.
