13. Na, its just the death throes of the current republican party

If this was a 50/50 split, between these white supremacist Trump supporters and protesters like we saw in Chicago tonight, I would agree. However, Trump's fascist voters are 1/3 of the Republican party; a party that is less than 30% of the population. Trump is getting a lot of attention because he drive news ratings, anything scary does, but his support is very low. Instead, I think we are seeing the last of the racist branch of the republican party violently dying off. These people were in good company 10-15 years ago. But as these old racist fucks die of old age, they are getting desperate and violent. Soon, we will see a new Republican party. Reorganized with different philosophy, getting away from the Nixon/Reagan ideas of 40 + years ago. We will all survive this but this election and maybe the next 1 or 2 won't be pretty, but its all for the best.
