Beneath Cheers at Donald Trump’s Rallies, Dark Fears Take Hold
New York Times, 10/27/16

COLORADO SPRINGS — Big crowds still mob Donald J. Trump when he comes to town, with fans waiting in long lines to attend his rallies, where they eagerly jeer his Democratic rival and holler happily at his message.

But beneath the cheering, a new emotion is taking hold among some Trump supporters as they grapple with reports predicting that he will lose the election: a dark fear about what will happen if their candidate is denied the White House. Some worry that they will be forgotten, along with their concerns and frustrations. Others believe the nation may be headed for violent conflict.

...

New York Times reporters spoke to people attending Trump rallies in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In every crowd, there were supporters who echoed Mr. Trump’s message that the polls do not reflect the “silent majority” who they say will turn out on Nov. 8 and elect him in a landslide.

...

An information diet from Trump-friendly outlets like Breitbart News and Infowars has led many to believe that there is no way Mr. Trump can lose, and that even contemplating the possibility is foolish. “I’d be shocked,” said Rick Hill, 58, of Fort Myers, Fla.

1. Four years from now they'll be saying the same thing

And they were saying it four and eight years ago.

These people are scared of everything and paranoid.

2. They are on the Disaster Express and see the final destination.

Life will be better for them and they may even start to appreciate Obama's work.

3. I would like to forget these people.

I think they deserve a little less attention. The normal needs to be redefined. That will be difficult, but once it is, these people will begrudgingly follow along and eventually forget all about whatever their concerns were. Most people just want to follow along with whatever the crowd is doing.

9. Pathetic

This is a pathetic group of lost souls that long ago lost the ability to recognize reality. And they aren't going to do squat, at most their will be a few more deranged Cliven Bundy cults.

I have zero sympathy for any of these fools, they've been beaten over the head with reality for 8 years of Obama and they still refuse to accept it.
