2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRan across a scary Trump supporter
on Facebook. I quickly unfriended him, but now I am wishing I had reported him to the Secret Service.
A little backstory - I will try to make it not tl;dr
I am pretty well known in a niche area (showdogs) and because of that, I get a lot of friend's requests that since I only use it for the dogs, I approve routinely. I don't know 90% of the 4000 people on my friends list.
So this guy is posting about how he has never hated anyone in his life how much he hates Hilary and thinks all Clintons including Chelsea's children should be hanged and Hilary drawn and quartered. It went on and on in the comments.
I quickly unfriended him and thought about it again later after I was no longer in shock at the absolute hatred - using misogynistic slurs etc - the guy (and his friends) were absolutely deranged. I normally back away and just completely disentangle from the few I've run across and I do not go places frequented by Trump supporters.
I can't stop thinking about it though - just the level of hatred is so intense - and Trump just keeps ramping things up. I do not think this is going to end well when Hilary wins in a landslide. I tend not to see it because I don't use Twitter and don't go to Reddit and don't read comments on newspaper articles
Trump is fomenting something and it is not good.

(47,625 posts)We've seen that kind of intense hate at some of the Trump rallies and it is so over the top.
It's positively unhinged.

(67,112 posts)like a bunch of losers. Trump, is the most dangerous I ever recall getting so close to the presidency. The guy is a total wacko.
He's dangerous as well.

(3,231 posts)I have a huge friendslist and wouldn't even know how to go about finding him again. I wish I had blocked him so then I could have at least found him again. It showed up on my newsfeed and after reading it, I quickly unfriended him
I have a lot of friends in dogs who are right wingers and they post stupid shit all the time, but this guy pinged my radar - hard.

I've had them for over 20 years now. I love them but they are definitely not for everyone.

(989 posts)I remember seeing pictures of folks cheering his assassination. And there was some guy on the radio who sounded like the forerunner of Rush but I can't recall his name and didn't get to listen to the radio that often.
