I am quite certain that Trump's supporters (which is the set of people
I'm talking about and is clearly a set that only partially overlaps
"Republicans") will do exactly that because they have been saying so,
very loudly, very often, very unmistakably, for a long time.  And you
know what?  I take them at their word.  I believe them.

Have you not been listening?

p.s. They're doing it again RIGHT NOW, as you're reading this.
They're thrashing Starbucks because the CEO announced that they would
hire 10,000 refugees over the next 5 years.  Now we could all nitpick
that (and we probably will) but at least it's an attempt to do
something humane and decent and compassionate.  Consider carefully
what kind of a person has a problem with that and then tell me how
I could possibly demonize them any more than they already have.
