I mean look at where all the white supremacists are flocking, and look at how Trump is encouraging that.

No, Trump is the worst thing this nation has faced in many years, because he's a nascent Hitler. Any candidate who talks about forcing people who belong to a certain religion to 'register' and banning any more coming into the country is DEFINITELY going the Hitler route and I want NOTHING to do with him or his supporters.
