There is so much hate generated by the MAGATs that

if it continues unabated, if we don’t stop it very soon it wouldn’t be all that crazy if within a few years election days would be declared purge days.

Purge as in the movies type of purge.

What is happening to this country now is something we couldn’t foresee just a mere 3 or 4 years ago. If the slide into crazy isn’t stopped it will naturally get worse. We’re all worried about Ilhan Omar and all the elected representatives who speak out against Trump. MAGATs are already getting itchy trigger fingers. What will they be like in another few, very few, years?

Trump is pushing into us into a dystopia.

sobered really quickly, when I suggested that as a joke someone could pitch him the plot of the movie "The Running Man" as a possible way to deal with immigration. We both stopped laughing as we realized that he might consider something like that.

Heck, any day now, Brawndo will be in irrigation systems everywhere.

I watched briefly about 10 minutes of one of the Purge movies and it made very uncomfortable as we are going in that direction. I can see the orange maggot ordering his maggot supporters to go out and shoot Democrats waiting in line to vote in 2020. And if he loses in 2020 the maggots aren’t going away and we’ll have a new civil war. Red armbands will be the new Nazi symbols of magas.

It has been effectively channeled into a more politically effective element with the advent of conservative hate filled talk radio in the 1980s. Trump is a symptom not the root cause.
