People yelling white power, talking about permits to shoot immigrants at the border for sport, liberal use of the n word.
A disgusting illustration of the ugliest strata of American life.
All to feed one sicko's monstrous ego.

(21,925 posts)was taken aback by all the racist slurs she heard. In fact, she's covered other trump rallies and said on national television that she's never quite heard this kind of stuff at rallies other than trump's. Sorry if this is posted at a weirdo website but I looked for this segment several times yesterday and finally found it. She's a reporter for a major cable network on national television accusing Trump supporters of repeated racist slurs.

(21,363 posts)here in six moonths then I saw the entire time I lived in Alabama, a total of 6 years.
Huge flags - 4'x6', being waved from car windows and stuffed in holes in the backs of big trucks, just flapping in the breeze. Almost frightening.
I've tried to explain that it is actually a flag of treason, especially when they have a huge US flag flying along with the racist one; they are convinced that they aren't really racists so it is just a flag of their "rebel honor". Many of their sentences start with, "I don't want to sound like a racist but," and proceed to try to vomit out their bs. I just patiently explain that that is how many racists start a sentence and maybe if they didn't spout such crap they wouldn't sound like the racists they aren't. Insane.
Would so love to move...

(2,150 posts)Trump is pandering to those same instincts used in pre-Nazi Germany -- to hate "the other" --those who are blamed for economic difficulties of the times. In that era it was the Jews and Communists.
This strategy is as old as rocks.
But who teaches political history widely about such things in schools and universities?
And which of the news agencies that the public watches or listens to even regularly discusses our situation by camparing it to similar situations in history, such as pre-Nazi Germany?
One could easily argue that we're already drowning in Fascism now, but that it will be awhile before it is properly named.
"Democracy" seems inappropriate at this time.
Why is the U.S. population so stupid?
That was a question was asked by millions of people on the famous front page of an EU newspaper back when Dumbayu was "elected".
I strongly suspect, and it is actually scientifically documented, that the dumbing down of our country is due to a pandemic of brain cell injury and brain cell loss due to the incredible proliferation of petrochemical neurotoxins which are damaging our intelligence worldwide, but especially here in the petrochemical toxic dump-site known as the USA.
The EU has much more stringent regs as to what petrochemical toxins are allowed. The EU prohibits over 30,000 neurotoxic chems because of what they do to the brain, central nervous system and general health of its citizens. After all -- the EU in general provides health services as a "right" to its citizens.
But the USA is easily bought, so we continue to poison our own. Everything seems to be for sale here.
We are becoming known to others, and now to ourselves, as an increasingly stupid socieity.
Neurotoxins like lead, mercury, pesticides, and other petrochemical solvents are well known in the independent scientific community for reducing IQ.
It's hard enough to learn from history when you have a full deck.

(25,816 posts)Racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic. And you are correct--it is just to boost his brand.
People who refer to themselves in the third person--He doesn't say "I believe this or that", he says
"Trump doesn't believe..." Disgusting that he has so many followers.
