Rorschach test
Normal people will find it shocking and revolting. Hard-core Trumpers will enjoy it.
And that well illustrates the difference between normal people and hard-core Trumpers. It also illustrates why the movement led by Donald Trump is the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War.
Jonathan V. Last of The Bulwark puts it bluntly: this kind of thing is not just disturbing in that it appeals to so many Trump supporters and was not only produced by them but shown at a meeting of high-level Trump donors.
This sort of thing illustrates eloquently exactly what appeals to a large percentage of his hard-core supporters about Donald Trump.
This is not a healthy movement comprised of healthy people. These are in many cases seriously unhealthy people drawn to Mr. Trump precisely because he is one of them, and they understand that.
I don't see how much plainer the problem can be, either with the video or with the people who don't see a problem with it. Normal people don't think this sort of thing is OK.
