Trump Lovers Not Fellow Americans - Sick Of Those Hateful Bigoted Bastards.

[TheMastersNemesis]

I am sick of Trump supporters. They are not fellow American but the enemy of the country. As a vet I would refuse to serve in the military with any of these people. They stand for nothing that this country represents. And I would treat them no different than the VC I faced in Vietnam.

If their guy wins this country will be turned to shit in my opinion. The GOP platform Trump represents is an embarrassment and disaster.

1. Amen to THAT!

I am astounded that seemingly "normal" people are so gullible. The gop seems to scrape the very bottom of the barrel for their candidates. The dems want intelligent, thoughtful candidates and they get them. Must be that the gop is devoid of people of quality to run for office. Donald J-ackass tRump is seriously unbalanced.

2. The Video Coming Out Of Trump Rallies Is Nauseating. The Media Edits The Crap Out.

The media is running cover for Trump for the most part. I see very little video feed from the networks. They try to show Trump rallies as normal political events, when they are white supremacist neo nazi like. Cell phone feeds reveal the real truth. And it is sickening and frightening.

8. I wish the media wouldn't edit them,

so the people who keep making excuses for Trump and Co. can't hide behind edited videos and pretend that everything's ok.

10. There is a video out of the edited stuff.

Sorry: I don't have a link. but it shouldn't be hard to find.

3. I think Lord Rupert and Roger Alies had quite a lot to do with creating the base for Trump.

SO too do the hatemonger radio network and the yellow press that echo them. I think 20 years of howling, whining, distorted Right Wing propaganda has come home to roost.

The willing fools in mainstream news bear some of the blame as well by conflating celebrity with ability. If half the coverage of Trump's flawed career that has been published SINCE he won the Primaries had been applied prior to it I doubt he would now be running for POTUS.

Of course that would mean we'd have one of the other Republican dunces in his place speaking a diluted and occasionally coded version of what he spews.

4. I'm afraid they are. Nothing new here, just the

latest iteration of rabble-rousing. We even have a word for it that's almost if not entirely as old as our country.

5. He's certainly brought out the worst elements of this country, in one place

The only good thing is once someone identifies as a Trump supporter, you know to freaking stay away from them.

6. They are Americans. They have to be dealt with. But Progressive power trumps reversion. . . nt

7. Lol. In a country founded on slavery, that today fills its prisons with people of color for profit,

that bigoted behavior might just damn well define being an American.

I'm still waiting for the day you don't need to tell a black child, just before he leaves the house, he might be killed just for being black. And that is by the folks who are charged with our safety.

9. Nemesis, while I completely understand and empathize with your reaction,

...I have to disagree that Trump supporters are not Americans. Let's leave the task of deciding who is an American and who is not based on their politics or ethnicity to the right wing. We may agree that Trump supporters don't have the values that WE feel are essentially "American," but they are indeed Americans. In fact, there has always been a deep vein of anti-intellectualism, xenophobia, and hunger for authoritarian rule among a significant minority of the American electorate.

[maddiemom]

11. True.

Trump just made it safe for them to come out.

[Nitram]

12. A lot of them came out in response to Obama's election.

[maddiemom]

14. Also true.

[Blecht]

15. Agree completely

I was going to respond, but you already said what I wanted to say, and you did it very well.

13. "And I would treat them no different than the VC I faced in Vietnam."

Are you running for President?
