"They want to destroy you."

“Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice, and rage and want to destroy you, and they want to destroy our country as we know it,” Trump said.

The cheering Trumpists think this is right and good. But I can't believe-- I simply cannot believe-- that ordinary Republicans can listen to that and accept it.

Maybe I just don't want to believe that my in-laws and my neighbors have gotten that deep into the moral morass of Trump. But if they DON'T agree, why don't they pull away from him? Why don't they say, "That's just wrong. No Democrat wants to destroy me or the country."

What is it they get from Trump that's worth collaborating with that sort of hatred?
I know, I should ask them, but they'll mutter something about how they disapprove of that but Hillary.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." Although in the case of the average red hat, they always wanted to believe what Trump spouts, and Trump validates their beliefs.

Get them universal healthcare, reduce their children’s college debt, see to it their air and water is clean, get their wages up and their roads repaired (and on and on and on) then yeah, we want to destroy the fuck out of them.
