Trump supporter Hung Two Black Dummies From A Tree In His Front Yard





Republicans often talk about yard signs in their neighborhood as proof of their candidate’s fitness for office, but a photograph of one Florida resident’s Trump sign with lynched black people hanging from a tree has gone viral. It’s a terrifying reminder of the pervasive racial hatred pitched by Donald Trump’s new Republican Party, which he normalized by accepting the endorsement of former KKK chief David Duke and by leading the “alt-right” movement to Make America Discriminatory Again.

Miami’s New Times reports:

"There needs to be a hell of a lot of hate in your heart to think lynching people on Halloween is funny. And yet, here we are, Miami. A homeowner in Three Lakes, a small community in suburban Kendall, is celebrating the holiday by lynching two black-looking dummies in his or her yard.

but I don't expect many Trumpanzees to condemn this. Judging from what I've heard from them so far, they will more than likely claim that this was fake and stirred up by a Democrat to make Trump look bad (as if he's not already doing a good job of that himself).

There is absolutely no mistaking the imagery: these are two black men lynched in effigy, a threat to all who walk by, a threat to any person of color in this nation.

for threatening people like that. Let them know what intimidation feels like.

Mind you, I'm not trying to whip up any readers here to do that. But I certainly wouldn't feel sympathy towards them.
