The goal of the Free Hugs Project is quite simple. Participants want to make America love again. Which is a complete spin on GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump's campaign slogan and, apparently, the people who attend his rallies.
The project recently attended rallies for Trump as well as for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and offered free hugs. Who doesn't want a hug? Well, apparently, people who attend Trump rallies hate hugs. Or maybe they just hate hugs from black men?
At a Trump rally in Janesville, Wis., video footage shows an anti-Trump protester being maced and then being asked, "How does the burn feel?" A black guy offering hugs was met with things like, "White is better," and "I don't want any drugs." Another woman threatened to punch him if he wasn't a Trump supporter.

(3,208 posts)I have been avoiding any video with tRump supporters, and now I know why! At first I thought i would have to stop watching this, but I am glad I stuck it out.
We can do so much more with love than hate! Love will conquer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But at the mall some random crazy something like this I'd have fun with.
