What worrying trend are you beginning to notice?

Re: “fuck minorities:” The shift in focus on “demographic change,” the many dog whistles, the implementation of voter restrictions designed to disenfranchise minorities, the active ignorance of racial police brutality (you may not have heard one of the first things Sessions did was stop/delay the DoJ investigations into places like Ferguson and Baltimore), the ineffective border wall, the cruel treatment of refugee seekers, the uptick in avowed racists/Nazis running for Republican office...I could almost certainly go on.

Re: Trump’s crimes: Payments from foreign governments to his/his kids’ businesses violate the emoluments clause (especially when they’ve been strongly linked to lager favors from his administration to those governments), there is proof his campaign attempted to collude with Russia and his campaign manager was secretly on their payroll to manipulate various countries’ state actors into supporting Russia. Also, not explicitly in the Constitution but he committed tax fraud and is an admitted sexual harasser (likely rapist).

Re: economic terms: I was distinguishing between “radical right” and “conservative” when talking about the economy, but that might not be the best term. Whatever it’s called, it’s definitely not conservative.

My comment was addressed to you, who I assumed was a conservative. There are obviously people who don’t want the party to swing back to conservatism, or the GOP wouldn’t be getting so radical, but consider who those people are, who are pulling the GOP left in economics but still vote Republican because they care more about being socially right-wing. Socially right-wing policies like shaming rape survivors and immediately dismissing allegations, limiting immigration, voter suppression, shaming protests of police brutality, defending Charlottesville protestors, refusing refugees in need, etc.
