    The thing that gets me when I watch these youtube videos is the great difference between us. I could just go up and punch the Laker fan and tell him not to ever wear it again. People would intervene of course because it would just be me.


    These screeching kids aren't able to fight so they form large groups of screamers. What they need to realize is that there are large groups of people that don't agree with them. Screaming escalates things, nobody needs that.

    It is so genuinely impartial of you to take the words of a crazy person and run with it.

    The last time I saw a single story about voter intimidation it was New Black Panthers in Philly.

    Let's see what happens this time before we act like Trump Klansmen are going to be out in full force.

    This is not entirely news (and the author has a serious chip on her shoulder about "flyover country"). Apparently the #1 feature shared by Trump fans is not class but authoritarianism. "I alone can fix it" is what resonates.

    We take Trump, @magnifier661, @MarAzul, @MARIS61 and the other armed Trump fanatics and we send them to Cuba! They fight communism and create an island paradise.

    Interesting stuff, thanks for the link.

    This bit from the article you linked to, sums it up pretty well:

    "The candidate has confounded conventional expectations this primary season because those expectations are based on an oversimplified caricature of the electorate in general and his supporters in particular."

    Also this: "Taking Trump voters’ concerns seriously means listening to what they’re actually saying"

    No way, give them something that is not part of the United States. If they fuck it up, no big deal. If they actually do something good then we use the military to move them to Haiti, (Make Haiti Great Again!) and we give Cuba statehood.

    The reason I used Texas as the homebase is that they've said they'll accept no refugees in Texas..I think they've put it into law there..MM lives down there, he'd probably know

    This same 'don't tread on me' revolution rhetoric has been spewed from these cult-like teabaggers since the 2008 election.

    The GOP is now fragmented into three factions:

    -Trumpanzees
    -Pray The Gay Aways
    -Moderates <-- ultra rare

    Outside their twitter bubble they are viewed as a bunch of wingnuts that will never win another presidential election. This is the silver lining to Trump - he alone destroyed the GOP.

    Yep, grafitti. Oh wait, throwing a Molotov cocktail through a window into a building that might even be empty.

    You should actually read things, it helps.

    Everyone knows that nobody would ever sleep at the office 3 weeks before an election.
