In honor of Cheeto, I've got a word of the day for you: embolden

From Merriam Webster -

Allow me to provide an example of this already starting.  From WSYX (OH), dated 11/17. via KOMONews (note: KOMO is an affiliate of Sinclair Inc. an organization that could give Fox News right wing shill lessons.  If they're reporting this, it had to be pretty bad.) -

Governor DeWine, others condemn Neo-Nazi march in Ohio community

Columbus Police on Saturday responded to a group of Neo-Nazis carrying flags with swastikas on them while walking through the Short North.

Social media posts began circulating around 1 p.m., showing about a dozen people marching wearing all black with masks that featured a red skull. Columbus Police told WSYX that no arrests were made as of 8 p.m. that same day.

Governor Mike DeWine released a statement condemning the Neo-Nazis, stating that "We will not tolerate hate in Ohio."

Mayor Andrew Ginther released a statement condemning the actions, and ensuring the "Columbus community stands squarely against hatred and bigotry."

Maybe it'll help if I use "embolden" in a sentence.

It seems that Cheeto's win has served to embolden other scum.

Fasten your seat belts folks - the ride is going to get bumby.
