Eat **** and die for calling us anti-semites with nothing to back it up.

This is harsh and probably goes a bit too far. But there is a growing sentiment Trump supporters should be called out for being total fanboys, sugarcoating his behavior and each and every decision he makes, particularly when he goes after military, minorities, women, journalists. In my view the biggest sin committed by the Trump base is blatantly ignoring the vitriol and hatred Trump exhibits when he lashes out at his perceived opponents. The response is simply holding your nose and looking away. And of course the usual whataboutism, claiming the media isn't fair to him and he's just fighting back, or bringing up minor fringe groups like AntiFa as some sort of bizarre rationalization for Trump's behavior. **** that, he's the President, he should lead by example. There is still such a thing as common decency and core American values standing up for human rights and equality for all. Trump is waving the flag of xenophobia, scapegoating of whatever imagined threat or enemy - or minority/religious group - he can pull out of his ***.
So yes, there is a huge void in truthfulness and calling a spade a spade when it comes to Trump and his supporters. The sugarcoating and blame-game has got to stop. His base should very much be calling him out for his words and actions. Think of what message you're sending to your kids and grandkids. It will be hard to wash off the stain when looking back at this presidency in years to come.
And then there are the extreme Trump nut-huggers, many here on the board, who share his hatred and anger and froth at the mouth in approval of his most incidiary, hateful messaging. These are the ones who want to shoot refugees at the border, have journalists killed, demean women, minorities and the political left, and the like. Unfortunately, there is hardly ever a backlash against this type of sentiment on this board from the so-called 'rational' Trump supporters. That's why it's becoming increasingly difficult to claim there are still 'normal' Trump supporters out there.
