Yes, yes, some will say -- but not all Republicans are like Trump.
Not all of them even like Trump. It is true that parts of the
Republican establishment finally, and unconvincingly, rebelled against
Trump. But it was these same "reasonable" Republicans who ignored his
early impact. They refused to listen to those who insisted that his
vitriol was destructive to the country. As long as it didn't impact
Republican, or white, interests, the lives Trump imperiled didn't
matter. Now that he has been elected president, many Republicans have
overcome their misgivings and enthusiastically returned to the fold.
The party for which he is now standard-bearer must be held accountable
for his creation.
-- Michael Eric Dyson, Tears We Cannot Stop, p. 110-111
