The ones voting for him are listening. That's exactly what they think they want want. The average republican voter is simply too stupid to understand the long term implications of their choices. This is the same stupid push that led to Brexit.

They're being controlled by the smart republicans that are using it to enrich themselves at others expense.

While democrats do this kind of manipulation too, at least they aren't pushing straight up authoritarianism.

Came here to say this. How many times are we gonna watch one of them "accidentally" quote Hitler in a speech, or talk about the benefits of slavery, or talk about how they want to make women second-class citizens, then pretend that they didn't? They gathered under a banner at CPAC that said 'We are all domestic terrorists'. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
