I'm always remembering how they supported the obvious racists in their party over the years and how they excused and welcomed their problematic supporters too. Then I think how a convert can be the most enthusiastic voice. They have 'seen the light' and feel betrayed by their own. Maybe they will revert to type later on, but for now I welcome their support, because we need all the help we can get to ditch the crazies.
