126. They are multiplying anyway and they are already triggered by Trump, his cronies and each other
Sat Sep 10, 2016, 01:37 PM
Sep 2016

They certainly are not shy about their hatred and anger.
They are trying to be the new evangelicals, the new tea party or what have you.
They are fair game in my opinion.

If the hateful don't think about the consequences then maybe those that are not hateful will.

The hateful supporters shouldn't be upset about it and should welcome it. This is how they want to be perceived anyway....at least until it hurts them where it counts (trouble with jobs, customers, relationships, law, etc) then some tend to change their tune.
They shout about how proud they are of their hatred of others, their white nationalism, their harmful rhetoric (is it rhetoric?) to kill or imprison the female nominee that has not broken the law. The list goes on against entire races, religions, sexes, it never ends.

I don't think it's a Trump level move. THE Trump level move is to lie about 'entire groups' he has attacked our sitting President and he has done this over and over against nearly all groups. He's throwing hatred (and red meat) out as though they are prizes on a game show and the contestants are glad to compete for those prizes.

Jesus he even insulted uneducated people which some of the haters are and they don't even hear it.

Ignoring them isn't working and this may not either but it could just nudge some less hateful people to pay closer attention.
