It’s entertaining to remember that Romney was accused during his campaign of all the same things Trump is being accused of now. In fact, every Republican candidate is always accused of wanting to bring back slavery, creating concentration camps, being a fascist, and doing some unspecified terrible things to “binders full of women.” In fact, the absolute evisceration by the media of the mild-mannered, extremely moderate Romney and a depiction of him as puppy-torturing, woman-hating, slavery-loving fascist is what tipped the majority of Republican voters towards welcoming Trump several years later. If you will be accused of being Satan no matter what you do and lose into the bargain, why not choose the most outrageous option and win?
This is the #1 problem of Democrats. They need you to embrace the outer edges of every fashionable lunacy, and if you hold back a millimeter, they’ll brand you as worse than Hitler. The no-border people recognize no boundaries in anything, including rhetoric.
