Trump Already Has The Election In The Bag In His Mind. Losing Means The Dems Cheated.

Trump and the GOP are setting up the notion that Clinton would be illegitimate as president. When Democrats win they are illegitimate because only GOPPERS can be president. Their plan is dangerous politics. The thirst for civil and racial war to justify their power.

While racism definitely stoked the fires of some anti-Obama types, ANY Democrat elected as President would've faced just as much criticism, stonewalling, and bullshit. It's just that a white Dem would've gotten slightly different (i.e. not racist), but just as much, bullshit.

They've been raised to loathe liberalism by being taught it's (in some socio-political pretzel-like way) akin to communo-fasci-nazism. With Obama, they just turned it into Kenyo-communo-fasci-nazism.

Because they're sheeple.

Yes, that John Dean. It is a wonderful read.

Here: Conservatives Without Conscience I will save you all the effort in finding the Wiki.

I met Dean and listened to him speak. He is a pretty damned good person.

Rationalization:
a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable—or even admirable.
