This image is disturbing.




From his rally: MAGA campaign rally at the Southern Illinois Airport Hangar 6, in Murphysboro, IL,
7:46 PM - Oct 27, 2018


The tweet with the image was originally posted by demmiblue here:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017517615

It is the image itself that disturbs me.

He, trump, is shrouded in darkness, only a few windows with fading light, the man grossly obese due to the excesses he gorges on. I am not just referring to the fat food he feeds on but our civil rights and liberties. An arm raised in a Nazi salute celebrating the darkness of dictators past. His flock are just shadowy figures of the night that shun the light.

I do not know if we will survive his presidency or where we will be if we are able to move back to the light.



Get out and vote. This may be our last chance. The burn it all down crowd were fools and tools. They sat out the vote. I hope they have learned. Guess we will see if the purity they wished for will this time become votes for survival of us all.

FFS. VOTE.

That's a better comparison for him in any case...a spoiled child with no constraints. He never was much of a speaker or a salesman for that matter. Made his way through life using other people's money while threatening everyone around him.

Thanks for the nasty attack on me. I am sure you feel I deserved that take down.


The purity I speak of is the Susan Sarandon's that gleefully attacked Hillary, praised trump, actually said she was WORSE than trump and told supporters to vote for anyone else, just as she did.


Good Nite.

Just the other side of what happened.

You're right about Sarandon.

But it seemed that you were blaming lot of other voters, and we really need to get past that. We can't afford to be dredging up old divisions. All hands are needed on deck.

Gru has a basic humanity that Trump lacks.

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is advocating the murder of anyone not a racist white and male.

"Who's street our street. Jews will not replace us"! He said they are very fine people.




He calls women fat pigs, he says they bleed from orifices, he grabs them by the pussy and moves in on them and invades their space and bodies after popping a few tick tacks. He disrespects everyone.

Sorry. This from the EFFING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

You are more upset by fat shaming than the racist bigot he is? He is enabling the murderers and racists. People are dying. We have not seen the end of this.

But the shadows and lighting has a feel of something from 1930's Germany. And it's happening in my home state and the state I live in. These are not light times but we must stay resolved and strong. Fascism will not go quietly into the dark. We must commit ourselves to outlasting them and remembering the fights of our elders.

My grandpa is one of the few remaining members of an aircraft carrier sunk by Imperial Japan in the largest naval battle in world history. He fought so that we could live free. A new generation of Americans may need to relive these experiences even though I hope we never will have to.

If he's not indicted or removed from office before 2020, he may not make it through a campaign for 2020. There's a reason there are no elderly morbidly obese people.
