Yeah I was thinking of it like black people going to trump, not like racists being set in their ways and finding “their guy.”
So I misunderstood/misread the original statement

… That’s literally what happened. He gave them an exercise to be the assholes they always wanted to be, in public. And for that they don’t care what he does, as to them, he’s a reflection of themselves.

Oh yes… when racist pieces of shit noticed it was OK to air their BS and wear it proudly after Republicans send the message that this is OK now… they feed off each other

How is that different from Republicans at literally any other point post 1960?

Dude, the difference is the scale… back then they could hint at it, if they overdid it, that was a career ending mistake
Now all safeties are off… they literally compete to see who says they worst racist shit

That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.
Literally watch any comedy from that time and you’ll quickly learn how different the discourse was.
In the past 5 or so years it’s swung back super hard, I’ll give you that, but PC culture as you’re describing it had barely started in the 90’s and really only got off the ground in a way you would recognize in the mid-late 00’s.
