This Salon article by Ian Hanley-Lopez is well worth taking the time to read. Although it was written in Dec. 2013--BEFORE the age of Trump, it was prescient of the continued trajectory of the Republican Party towards a white nationalist agenda. The article describes:
How the indirect racist messaging of "dog whistle politics" began with George Wallace, using the language of being opposed to "arrogant federal authority," and being for "states’ rights," "law and order, running your own schools, [and] protecting property rights." Even though Wallace was a Southern Democrat (and later an Independent) the "dog whistle" strategies he employed were later appropriated by the GOP in the "Southern Strategy."
How the GOP's "Southern Strategy" slowly developed in the 1960s, when Goldwater began to push “states’ rights,” as well as “freedom of association." This strategy over time helped the Republican Party begin to appeal to those white voters who still held overt or covert racial prejudices.
How Kennedy and Johnson, by promoting civil rights legislation, turned the Democrats into the party identified with championing the civil rights of marginalized racial and ethnic groups.
How Richard Nixon fully embraced the "Southern Strategy," through his messaging of being for "law and order," and against the "forced busing" of children (to integrate public schools). As he gradually adopted this strategy, Nixon also turned against one of his own administration's earlier policies (developed by George Romney), which Nixon later derided as the "forced integration of the suburbs."
How, according to Hanley-Lopez, these changes in the racial strategies and policies of the diverging Republican and Democratic parties in the 1960s/early 1970s contributed to "the rise of racially identified parties," with a majority of white voters shifting to the GOP (which became "in fact, though not in name, the White Man's Party"), and the Democratic Party being associated with racial and ethnic minorities (as well as a smaller proportion of white voters, i.e., well-educated whites, especially white women).

Echoes of Nixon's 1968 campaign ad in one of Trump's 2020 campaign ads
Hanley-Lopez mentions a 1968 Nixon campaign ad that focused on "exploiting the growing panic that equated social protest with social chaos." Above is the video of that 1968 ad: "The First Civil Right." Below is a transcript of the video:
TRANSCRIPT*
(Music with snare drum and dissonant piano chords)
MALE NARRATOR**: It is time for an honest look at the problem of order in the United States. Dissent is a necessary ingredient of change, but in a system of government that provides for peaceful change, there is no cause that justifies resort to violence. Let us recognize that the first civil right of every American is to be free from domestic violence. So I pledge to you, we shall have order in the United States.
[TEXT: THIS TIME VOTE LIKE YOUR WHOLE WORLD DEPENDED ON IT. . .NIXON]
[Color/ emphasis added.]
This 1968 Nixon campaign ad is eerily like at least one Trump 2020 campaign ad, "Abolished," which used some out of context video footage in order to exploit the fears of many white conservative voters regarding the Black Lives Matter protests and the poorly worded "Defund the Police" slogan.

Below is a transcript of the Trump campaign's 2020 "Abolished" video.
TRANSCRIPT***
[ Phone ringing/ Answering machine beeping/ background music. ]
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: You have reached the 911 police emergency line. Due to defunding of the police department, we're sorry but no one is here to take your call. If you're calling to report a rape, please press 1. To report a murder, press 2. To report a home invasion, press 3. For all other crimes, leave your name and number and someone will get back to you. Our estimated wait time is currently five days. Goodbye.
[ TEXT: Joe Biden's supporters are fighting to defund police departments. Fox News, 6/6/20 | Violent crime has exploded. ABC News, 6/24/20 | You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America. |
TRUMP PENCE KEEP AMERICA GREAT 20 ]
TRUMP: I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve this message.
[Color/ emphasis added.]
In conclusion, the barely covert racism in the GOP's political messaging that was so prominent during Trump's administration, and currently in the DeSantis Florida administration (among other GOP administrations) was not new. It was deliberately fostered by Republicans, starting in the 1960s, as they deployed their "Southern Strategy" to woo white voters who still had some overt or covert racial prejudices. The "Southern Strategy" relied on Republicans incorporating into their messaging strategies the kind of covert racist messaging that George Wallace used.
This strategy has unfortunately succeeded all too well.

For the record I think people who aren't voting to be much worse and dangerous for democracy at large than people who protest vote.

If Hillary had won in 2016, who do you think would’ve been her Republican opponent in 2020?
We would be living in such a different political world if Trump hadn't won in 2016 that I have no idea who would have replaced him as the Republican standard-bearer if he had lost that election. If Hillary had won in 2016, I'd like to think it would have just ended the MAGA experiment right there and smothered Trumpism in its racist little crib. I'm sure some of the candidates who lost the 2016 GOP nomination to Trump like Cruz or Rubio would have taken another shot. Paul Ryan probably would have remained in Congress if Trump hadn't taken over the Republican Party and if he continued as Speaker of the House he could have been a potential candidate.
You know, before Trump took control of the GOP and built the party around his cult of personality, I thought that the Republicans had a potential superstar national candidate in Brian Sandoval, who was Governor of Nevada for two terms (2011-2019). Sandoval would have been a really difficult candidate for Democrats in a general election -- a moderate Republican who supported abortion access and the Affordable Care Act, and also happened to be Hispanic so he didn't look like a regular Republican politician. Sandoval was respected enough that Senator Harry Reid tried to get President Obama to appoint him to the Supreme Court when Justice Scalia died (Harry Reid also might have been trying to get Sandoval on the Court to make sure that the Governor, a popular Nevada Republican, wasn't a potential threat to run for the Senate). If the Republican Party hadn't become what it has become, Sandoval was the type of candidate who could have been a game changer on the national level.
