In actuality Trump has mainstreamed misogyny, racism, hatred, bigotry, homophobia, sexual assault et al on a grander scale. The bad example he has set will linger in impressionable minds for a long time. He will have planted a lot of bad ideas in the younger set particularly young men that we won't see until it is too late.
He has been a recruiter for the KKK, white supremacist movement, and sexual predators. In the ned it will make it harder to combat the rape culture. And his apologist surrogates have told elements in the country that what Trump has done is PERFECTLY normal and is expected of a hot blooded alpha male.
Losing the election WILL NOT stop his sadistic and predatory ways. He is like a Bundy except he has not murdered any one yet. But he has murdered many a peace of mind. He and Cosby are in the same boat.

The "lasting damage" Trump may do could wind up being permanent because Texas is going to tip demographically like New Mexico and when it does these "hot blooded", racist, homophobic, sexual predator "alpha males" are not going to be able to elect a president that represents them.

(7,570 posts)If he truly gets his ass kicked, as I hope for, then we can send a message to Republicans that asshole coward bullies are to be despised and shunned, not cheered and admired.
But if, for some reason, he wins, God help us all.

(13,218 posts)If he loses (and I'm pretty damn sure he will) he brings down the GOP as well. The ones that practice misogyny, racism, hatred, bigotry, homophobia, sexual assault are neatly packaged in the GOP will be ostracized and that's good.
