I'm standing outside of the trump rally in austin

The sheeple are lining up 3 hours early to hear the 2 idiots trump and hannity


Most striking thing so far. In Scott that is 1/2 minority the crowd waiting is almost 100% white. I've seen 2 blacks and just saw my first Latino. The rest is pure Lily white.

I remember when a white-supremacist-leaning event was held in a meadow alongside a middle class Hispanic subdivision near us in California. Residents weren't reassured by the subdivision's fence. That weekend the children all stayed inside, no one went for a walk, and the friend who was going shopping for school clothes with us canceled.

I wasn't inside, didn't say anything to anybody, and this steroid monster gets six inches from my face and screams TRUMP!

Violence is completely normal and acceptable to these people.
