(10,893 posts)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).

(90,627 posts)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.

(61,692 posts)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.
