Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
The republican party has been pandering to racists, misogynists, and bigots of all sorts for decades because they can't win elections pandering solely to the wealthy elite that they actually represent. And this core group of bigots has become what's called the "republican base". They are not the totality of republican voters, but they are the block that the republicans must pander to, to win elections. (Even then, they still have gerrymander, slander, lie, and cheat any way they can, to win.) This bigot-block of voters like Trump because he talks and behaves like them. He is their bigot mascot. And because the republican party needs them to win elections, the republican party then has to support Trump even though he's an embarrassment to the party, to the nation, and to reasonable humans everywhere.
