I think it's pretty simple: Trump hates the same folks they hate*.

*See the Unite the Right rally...

I don't think Trump really hates anybody. Doesn't like anybody, either. He just says whatever the group he's speaking to likes to hear. He pretends to hate if that's what it takes to get a benefit for himself. Like votes or money. But mostly money.

So when talking about the KK ... oops ... "White Nationalists" rally, he says, they will not replace us. The next morning, he can go to a NAACP convention and tell them that he's been better for blacks than anyone else. (Which I don't think he literally went to the NAACP, but I'm sure I've heard him say he's been great for blacks.)

It's just that haters like the KK ... oops, almost did it again ... white nationalists are also among the stoopid I mentioned. They're not smart enough to see that they're being played. They just like to hear the hate, so they stick with that.

Trump's base is slowly getting whittled down to the truly stoopid. The "blind eye" republicans are deciding to stop being blind and - not exactly confess their sins - but acknowledge that Trump is bad for republicans.
