The (unspoken) gospel of the Republican Party since Nixon was the Southern Strategy, which was predicated on appealing to race hate while maintaining a veneer of plausible deniability (for a certain definition of "plausible") to avoid alienating moderates. Trump's real heresy from a GOP point of view was rejecting the Southern Strategy's nuance and replacing it with open race hate, and as it turned out any "moderates" that voted Republican all this time were actually fine with race hate all along. This confounded the Republican politicians who based their entire careers on the Southern Strategy, but there was no sea-change in the Republican base itself, we just got to see their true nature all along. He fired up the most garbage of the garbage people in the GOP (which is dangerous) and depressed the the willfully dense "reasonable" Republicans (which had no effect on anything), but both groups had been pulling the "R" lever the whole time since 1968.
