Jackie Calmes: Trump's words can incite violence. Why don't more Americans care?
There is something even more frightening than how freely Donald Trump gives license to political violence by his toxic rhetoric. It's that we Americans have become inured to his poison.
The nation collectively shrugs — "It's just Trump being Trump." And I'm not just talking about his millions of supporters, who laugh, clap, ignore, or, in too many cases, act on his provocations, or threaten to. How can this man be the overwhelming favorite of one of our political parties to be president again?
Trump won't change, but we voters and the media must, and attest to the perverse power of his words. He knows what he's doing.
