He stopped his furious pace and commenced yelling every reply, pointing angrily across the street at protesters who were going to "obstruct everything." "All those losers there better shut up or put up, 'cause I put up for the past eight years. That's what democracy's all about: You vote, and the person who wins, everybody supports him. Nobody protested Obama."

I remember when I first saw that pic and it was highlighted exactly for that reason. I.e., some things are "props" designed to make one feel "bigger and better and more powerful" - particularly when everything going on around you makes you feel powerless. And those who depend on the use of "enhancements" to appear to be above everyone else (something that Drumpf has perfected throughout his life - i.e., the "image" of "power&quot are the ones Drumpf played to.

It was all the hate, all the racism, and all the sexism that came out of his supporters. They champion themselves as being anti-PC and are proud of it, while we watch in horror at what their ignorance is capable of. The destruction at Adam Yauch Park. All the swastika graffiti. All the hate crimes. And most recently the vandalism at the Jewish community cemeteries. The people like Milo Yiannopolous, Theodore Shoebat, and Joshua Feurerstein. And unlike the last time a maniacal mad man with a dictatorial complex took over, I don't think there will be anyone to bail us out. They'll most likely let us stir in our own juices.

I am sure we will be victorious again, but it will be different factions probably liberal over right wing extremists, or nazi lovers. Yes I am hopeful the true patriots will overcome those who have very small minds.

It's something that these supporters are but of a small margin of people who are for all this madness.

9000 dolts was all he could muster for his big 2020 campaign kick off. That's like a portajohn line at the huge anti-dRumpf events from the last month.

For me, it's important to tone down the anger, be more dispassionate. Because everything dRumpfenfuhrer and his fans do is designed to be trollish, to provoke rage, anxiety, fear, violent irrational feelings. Better to be on an even keel, equitable, instead of violently angry. Better for physical well-being and mental health.

They just need to be plucked off and destroyed, like a tick that hasn't dug in yet. Dispassionately.

They must be opposed at every step of the way. Because, at the end of the day, that is what we are talking about. Authoritarian fascists. They would gladly put the Declaration of Independence and the constitution in a shredder and make Trump king if they thought they could get away with it. As long as "those people" were put in there place.

of the two wannabe dictators, prezidents bannon and miller would be given this type of power by these type of people who accused and feared President Barack Hussein Obama of wanting to do this...what's the simple explanation...a white male KKKristian would have this power over all those "other" people instead of an AA. This KKKulture will never, it seems, conquer racial hate outside of a really cosmic paradigm shift of magnificent proportions. It has never gone away, this hate of POC, now ALL outside white male KKKristiandom are hated. Shrinking resources, white population worldwide are just adding fuel to this generations long hatred.

There is that element of bragging on yourself, celebrating guns, sort of running down women.

They love Trump because he's the king of all that. He even is into the whole bling thing.

I live in a redneck area and it's interesting to hear them stereotype blacks, not realizing that the redneck culture has so much in common with the ghetto culture.

They also love that in your face thing. Trump really appeals to that.

Soros was the bad kind of billionaire, not like the ones in Trump's cabinet, who "don't have to rob the money from us because they've got enough of their own."

Oh, I understand this jackass all right. All too well. He's the one who says the unemployed are lazy, that women are fair game to a horny man, that immigrants are "stealing jobs" even as they're too lazy to work, that Muslims should be run out of the country and not allowed in in the first place. He's the one who believes that Sandy Hook was faked, that Barak Obama was born in Kenya, that public schools are destroying our children, that providing health care (yes, including abortions) should be outlawed...

That's just the short list. So, I'm supposed to empathize with these people so I can--I dunno, convince them to stagger out from the Dark Ages into the light? Believe me, if I thought for a second that there's a chance to reach this kind of mind and show them a better way, I'd empathize away. Even though they bear a large responsibility for the evil in the White House, I would at least try.

But I know them, you see. I HAVE tried to talk to people before the election who said they were voting for a monster. I tried, I really did, because it was so important. In vain, by the way. I'm done with them.
