Wait, who's saying this? Aren't they pretty obviously both?

I tend to agree, although there's a pretty clear divide between the traditional right (the former "establishment") and Trump's band of crazy people. But there's really no reason everyone shouldn't be denouncing this behaviour regardless of politics. Still, the only person who can actually make a difference here is Trump himself, which is, for obvious reasons, terrifying.
