Chanting USA, USA, USA while they kick the crap out of somebody, with their testosterone-maddened crap. Their vision of our nation is much different from mine. Sad.

they had a surrogate on tv the other day (trump's African American minority outreach director, or somesuch ironic title) who REFUSED to admit the evidence of his own eyes, denying that any violence ever happened at trump rallies, despite the CLEAR depiction of a guy getting the forearm shiver while being ousted from the stands
