32. Yes. When Alex Jones is your "voice of reason"...
Sat Dec 17, 2016, 03:52 PM
Dec 2016

Trump's a magnet for the unbalanced.

Perpetual rage has screwed up their neurotransmitters. They just have so much to hate: liberals, gays, education (higher education in particular), Muslims, women, Hispanics, African Americans, non-christians, Democrats, "Hollywood types," the "liberal media," on and on. Trump supporters are *always* angry in ways inappropriate to the situation. They are paranoid, seriously concerned about "FEMA camps" and having their weapons confiscated. They are land-locked and howling at the moon.

Notice how those who come unglued publicly start screaming that they voted for Trump, as if that fact were some kind of magic weapon. In a Starbucks, on a plane, on a bus...these events *have* happened. Many more will. Many incidents have been violent, or have that vibe hanging in the air. NONE of this constitutes healthy behavior.
