He’s a symptom of the rot at the core of our democracy. We should be treating him as such.

That rot is ‘people being allowed to vote for a platform of explicit hatred and totalitarianism’. That platform is popular enough to get many popular votes, and take the EC because the EC is shit. You can’t throw that away without dismissing the ‘concerns’ (i.e. ‘I want to hate Mexicans!’) of a substantial chunk of voters. I’m not sure that’s easy.
