He's still fighting cognitive dissonance with some rationalization about the Bush and Regan admins he helped get elected not being as horrible for the country as they were. Or acknowledging that Bush's admin was horrible but ONLY because of 9/11 which isn't this guy's fault because that's after the election work was done.
Sorry, dude, the republican party has been promoting racist policy and showing zero signs of fiscal conservatism for over 40 years. It was just ok with you when you were personally profiting from it, and only now that's it's gotten so visibly disgusting that you immediately think NAZI are you willing to see it.
That aside his observations are spot on. Especially this part which is what brisketexan has been saying all along and what I've felt is destined to be:
GRUNWALD: Obama said after his election that maybe now the fever will break, which was obviously wrong. You don’t think that if the Democrats win big, the fever will break?
STEVENS: No. I think Trump and the Republican Party have officially validated hate as an acceptable response to politics. Just as if we elected a bank robber president, bank robbery will become more socially acceptable, the same thing has happened here. That won’t change.
