VERY (very!) small consolation.   As the cameras panned the crowd at the
Greenville rally while the chant "send her back" was going on, I saw PLENTY
of individuals with their mouths shut --- some even evincing some
discomfort at what they were hearing --

To have even a small percentage (but I would guess it might have been 40
percent) embarassed enough to stay silent while others were vocalizing
hatred speaks with some hope that not all Trump voters are "irredeemable"
--- some good campaigning emphasizing the embarassment of former Trump
voters might induce SOME of them to stay home (most won't switch) --- which
would be a good thing.

(I freely admit that this MAY be (probably is?) grasping at straws but I
REALLY DID SEE non-moving lips from some as the camera panned the crowd.)

Comparison of Trump rallies with crowd that cheered on a lynching in 
1893. Best seen on NYT website for picture of racist mob in 1893.
