This Trump campaign shakeup isn't funny any more.

It's terrifying!

The fucker has these idiots in the palm of his hand and he's pushing them all to violence.

This country is going to go nuts when the fucker loses.

Blood is going to flow and these Nazi pieces of shit are going to go full blown terrorist across the country.

Mark my words, they are ready for violence, and he's inciting it.

We have all been frightened by the idea of Trump winning or shooting the hostage, so to speak, if he realizes he is going to lose. He has his mouth breather Klan but no evidence of mass violence of the horizon. Not impossible with this crowd but unlikely that a large number of them are that passionate that they will upend their entire lives in the name of donald trump. More likely they will just be pissy or depressed, not become mass murderes. We'll stay vigilant but don't panic. Go have a drink and don't let trump ruin your life, even for a few weeks. He's not worth it.

I live in a diverse urban area, but I'm worried about the people I know in heavier "Trump" areas, like my parents.

For the good of the country, he's got to get hammered and run off.

That's the safest outcome.

Trumpies don't have the "team work" to pull it off.

These folks are not going to take action after they lose. Just open more beers.

I know them. They are blowhards.

The most strident will not even vote.

First of all it things keep going like they are now, they are going to expect him to lose, and lose badly. Secondly, Trump supporters are a bunch of older white men who are for the most part are a bunch cowards. They wouldn't even know how to stage a good protest.

They have been angry at the government and stockpiling for eternity. They are still outnumbered and with population demographics trending the way it is, they are going to continue to be outnumbered as hell. They are just vocal. And the media is biased towards them so when they so much as fart, the media will report it like it is earth shattering. But that voice is falsely amplified. I dont think it is a realistic representation of the power behind it at all.

I don't think Trump's followers have the attention span or the organizational skills to do any major damage. Remember Bundy's crew - planned a big anti government revolt - with force if necessary...by day three they needed supplies.



Like Trump, they're a lot of hot air and no visible balls.

the sort that shoots unarmed people and runs away if they face resistance. And if they try that, then we can lock them up like the Bundy crowd. Good riddance.
