Chitown Kev on how Trump didn't choose his followers: they chose him:
"Trump is a known quantity; ever since he rode down that escalator in 2015, he’s been saying progressively more and nastier and dangerous political rhetoric.
He simply wouldn’t say that much nasty and mocking rhetoric if he didn’t have an audience for what he says.
I always remember: Trump didn’t choose his audience, his audience chose him."
