Very telling story from this article
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-trumps-response-to-charlottesville-really-about-politics/ on 538:
"In any case, I’d start with a number from Perry’s Charlottesville story:
Nearly 20 percent of self-identified Republicans who think there’s “a great deal” of discrimination against whites. Almost half think there’s “a great deal” or “some” discrimination against whites. Those groups, which are bigger than neo-Nazis, are the ones I think Trump had on his mind."
It is true that there is a great deal of us against them within the GOP and a great deal of fear that they are losing ground (and they are). Most time marginalization of a political group or ideology becomes the mainstream, that said party becomes more radical. We are seeing it here in the US.
