Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.

"Ratfinked"

November 6, 2016

“Don’t put nothing past that woman,” said Pack, Myers’s friend, who sported a black bleach-stained T-shirt that said “Redneck Priorities.”

Pack passed on another rumor, considered shocking if false: that the government has ordered 30,000 guillotines that Clinton, if elected, plans to use “to kill us — Christians and people who believe in the Second Amendment.”

“All you got to do is pull it up on the Internet,” Pack said.

Myers shook his head. “We’re going to become a Third World country,” he said. “And there’s going to be riots. States will secede if Hillary wins.”
