It's been said: "I Long for the good ol' days when ignorance wasn't considered a Political Position"

... But that was 'yesterday'. Now, thanks to spoiled rich kid Donnie Trump, who thinks anytime he doesn't win (only a speculation right now) there MUST be fowl play involved, there is a new brand of self indulgent psychosis emerging. There seems to be a new sanctimony to proclaim, at least among the self pitying, 'were being victimized'(!), Trumpsters crowd: "IF the Donald doesn't win, it must be because that devil Hillary cheated!" (of course, some would say, Trump is just picking up on this theme, first articulated by another group...Don't ask me who.)


Some Donald Trump Voters Warn of Revolution if Hillary Clinton Wins

Jared Halbrook, 25, of Green Bay, Wis., said that if Mr. Trump lost to Hillary Clinton, which he worried would happen through a stolen election, it could lead to “another Revolutionary War.”

“People are going to march on the capitols,” said Mr. Halbrook, who works at a call center. “They’re going to do whatever needs to be done to get her out of office, because she does not belong there.”

“If push comes to shove,” he added, and Mrs. Clinton “has to go by any means necessary, it will be done.”

Interviews with more than 50 Trump supporters at campaign events in six states over the past week revealed a distinct change from the rollicking mood earlier this year, when Mr. Trump’s surprising primary successes and emergence as an unconventional Republican standard-bearer set off broad excitement. The crowds appeared on edge and quick to lash out.

OF course this started with the Big Lie ( no. 1) that Clinton lied about her emails and BL (no. 2) that she really broke a law but U.S.A.G. Loretta Lynch told Comey what his advice would be to Justice, because Bill Clinton, with the media all around, had a tete-a-tete with Lynch where he convinced her to do him a favor and violate her oath of office.

1. Most of them will be bar room commandos

getting their brains oiled, ranting, issuing threats, and boasting about their military prowess since they can hit the target at the gun range a third of the time.

Short term, they'll make neighborhood bars unpleasant enough that most patrons discover drinking at home, reducing the carnage on the roads from drunk drivers.

The few who do manage to organize will be in rural states and safely away from threatening much of anyone. If they do get organized enough to create any sort of a threat, one wonders what will go through their addled heads as the realization that an AK 47 knockoff is not going to do much against a tank or jet hits them.

Long term, I sincerely hope even the DLC realizes that business as usual as an inducement for votes is only going to work if the GOP runs a true nightmare candidate like Trump. The difficulty they've had in this election should be ringing the clue phone off the hook but they've grown adept at not answering it.

2. "rollicking mood"? They've been a violent paranoid mob from the beginning

3. Needed to be said. Started with Bush the Second, went into high gear with the T-Party bozos...

...like Palin, Michelle, Bachmann, Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller, Todd Akin, et al. And culminating with the bull goose psycho loony, Donald Dump.

4. A case could be made for it starting with Raygun, when he started meme:"Government is the problem"

Seems like the idea started around that time that their ideas didn't really need to be tested against actual evidence in order to be believed.

5. Actually, you are 100% correct. Reagan seemed normal, but he was a whacko, too.

Just a good actor. For a president. And his positions on the environment, welfare and eduction were equally whacko.He scared the shit out of us, back in the day. We have such short memories.
