"Bill is a serial rapist, Hillary had several people assassinated" [View all]
A neighbor of mine put up a Trump Pence 2016 sign today. It wasn't exactly surprising, considering many of the redneck knuckle draggers in the area have one, but I was nevertheless surprised by the timing.
Admitting to being a far-left progressive is never a good idea around here, so I just tried to play it cool. I strolled over and asked if he had heard about what Trump said on that hot mic in 2005 and what he thought about Trump's comments.
'Well, shit, we're supposed to be angry at Trump for acting like a red-blooded man, meanwhile the liberal media totally ignores the fact that Bill is a serial rapist and Hillary had several people assassinated.'
That would be rather funny if it weren't for the fact that he's not the only Rethug to think this way. Look around some of the winger forums, even the comments sections in places like Yahoo and YouTube, and it won't be too difficult to find the same sentiment.
Trump wasn't wrong when he said he could shoot someone and his poll numbers wouldn't drop. What's scariest is that he's really just a symptom of the insanity and hatred from which conservatives suffer these days. The difference between him and reasonable Rethugs is that he simply dares to say what they think.
Even if he loses the election bigly, the conservative bigotry won't vanish. In fact, I worry Rethugs will be even angrier than they were after we elected a 'Kenyan Muslim' twice.
