I agree that each vile stereotype could be considered unique, and that Trump's recent stereotype of the Blue is worse and more pervasive than many, but that does not not excuse in my view the holders and actors upon other vile stereotypes.  Many reds have something real to say.  The complaints that they are being shut out are real and meaningful.

It's a safe assumption that things will get even more ugly before they improve.

A very safe assumption, especially if no one is listening.
