However that small percentage is still enough to cause a lot of damage. They probably won't admit they're wrong, but eventually they will crawl back under the rocks from whence they came (hopefully). They became brazen and open once they had a leader who spoke their hateful language.

They've always been with us, grumbling and complaining in the shadows, while they stockpiled their guns for their day of retribution. It appears that the election of a black man to the presidency was a huge motivator for many of them.
