What I have always found REALLY scary are the people who put Trump where he is today.

[Stinky The Clown]

The voters at his rallies. The idiots who cheer when he speaks. The ones who giggle when he calls for the assassination of his opponent. The one's who use violence against anyone who doesn't support him. The one's who cheer at all his hatful dogwhistles.

Trump is a symptom of our very sick society.

There is, for example, no doubt that a deranged supporter would try to kill Hillary Clinton. None.

1. Agreed.

And like Sharon Angle, or Pamela Geller, or Sarah Palin, he would of course claim that he meant nothing of the sort.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

2. Yep. Trump is ultimately the result, not the cause of their nuttiness.

I mostly blame right-wing propaganda for getting certain types of people stirred up.

3. They didn't so much as put him there as not doing a damn thing to prevent him.

The so-called 'leaders' of the GOP are just as lazy as the politicians drawing a paycheck and doing as little as possible to earn it.

Their 'philosophy' has become so onerous, so impossible to live with, that they just sit back and let things happen. It's sort of like when a cat goes away to die somewhere.

4. What's really scary is they are people you know

People you have known all your life, people you work with, people in your community you recognize and always just thought of neighbors just like you. And they have always been like this, just didn't have the right trigger.

6. That is exactly what I find so disturbing. Personally,

I blame Fox News. That kind of thinking wasn't mainstream until Faux came along and validated such views.

[OnionPatch]

13. I think it actually started

When they blanketed the country with right wing talk radio, mostly Rush Limbaugh. That's when conservatives really started going off the deep end.

5. Even if Trump is forced into oblivion after November, these supporters of his are still going to be

around. (I am sorry if I ruined your day (at least they will lose their fearless leader to coalesce around).

[Different Drummer]

10. Someone else will come along and get them

stirred up. Count on it.

[world wide wally]

12. Hopefully, they won't be a billionaire tv star

7. Keep in mind Trump will go away when he loses.....

....his supporters won't.

These people are very, very angry and hostile.

[Sedona]

8. My mother is at his rally in Sunrise Florida right now

I'm appalled.

9. Yes. Populist movements are potential threats to

democracy in many nations. By definition they always blame their dissatisfactions and anxieties -- for very good reason or for no good reason -- on "elites," "the establishment," and often surrogate targets like immigrants, etc., but it's always an unfocused willingness to destroy the very stability their own wellbeing depends on.

11. At least some slime previously under rocks are self-identifying themselves as a result of The Con.

The fact that they know they are now on law enforcement radar will put them back under their rocks where they belong. Hey look Bubba, everyone can see you on the internet! Wait------ EVERYONE?

[oberliner]

14. Amen

Watching a Trump rally is a real eye-opener.
