Dog Whistles No Longer - They Speak En Clair

I think I've figured out the core of my disgust at Trump's message and the rot he has revealed at the heart of today's Republican Party.

He is offensive to the memory of my parents, my brother, and a large number of role models growing up in suburban, Republican, Nassau County Long Island in the '60s and '70's.

They were conservatives regarding government spending and morality and anti-Communist to a fault (the fault being Vietnam). 

But they were NOT hateful, they respected science and facts, and they were NOT wing-nuts in pursuit of conspiracy theories.
