Trump getting into office with Russian help has emboldened them. Where it used to be wrong it is now quite acceptable. The Crook in the WhiteHouse, his buddies that could be in the Mafia have made it fine to bring it out in the open.

The crazies are allowed to spew their hate. The crimes are getting worse. The young act, the old just spew their hate. This came during the Obama Presidency. You can not imagine the hate I heard about him.
