(23,975 posts)...violence. He encourages it. There are clips aplenty from many of his campaign appearances urging hi supportes to rough people up, and saying he wishes he could punch a protestor in the mouth.

That's who is in the oval - a man who not only won't condemn hate groups but who has Bannon and Gorka at his side.
A man who has proven he loves the adoration from these hate groups more than he cares about America. More than he cares about Heather Heyer and Deandre Harris.
This is a man who encouraged the police to abuse the people they arrest.
Trump is everything his supporters are - don't ever think otherwise.
And, as for the GOP - as a party, you have pandered to these same types of people for years. From Nixon's Southern Strategy to GHW Bush' Willie Horton ad to birtherism and all the years in-between - the GOP has courted racism as a means to get elected.
So, no - you all don't get a pass either. I don't care what you're saying now - it's your actions I'm judging.
