ZamboniWogglebug: ZamboniWogglebug: I know these people are a tiny minority

I wish it was only a tiny minority. A good section of the report is how hate has gone mainstream with Trump’s Extremist GOP. You don’t get elected President by a tiny minority. Not that he was elected by a majority, but there are enough hateful people out there that voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other dirty tricks were enough for them to win at least once.

I’m sure the SPLC really wanted to classify the modern GOP as a hate group, because they clearly meet every reasonable test, but there’s no way to do that and still be taken seriously by the people they need to reach.
