The GOP Meme Begins. "If You Are Against Trump You Are A Traitor To the Homeland."

Once Trump is installed you can see the shit storm coming from GOP and its supporters. You are not only not patriotic or un-American if you are against Trump or protest, you are a traitor guilty of treason. You are against the homeland. Trump supporters are the only tried and true American patriots.

'You can count on reprisals if you even open your mouth. Gingrich is now setting the state for "us against them".

and you've got to be an even bigger idiot to be a Trump fan.
Truth is, we don't need those backwards bozos. They contribute nothing
to society, their brains aren't wired for innovation or progressive thought,
all they do is complain and stoke fear about the 'other guy', their
failing red states suck the taxes of more profitable liberal states,
they are chumps for the fake-est of fake news, and on top of everything,
they are just nasty narrow-minded talentless fuckheads. Meh.

of course that's still ~30 million people.

The other problem is if there's some national emergency, there will be extreme pressure to rally around the "president".

"The Homeland" was pushed by conservatives after 9/11 to increase nationalism, and I thought it was a bad sign then, when no national-level politician would be seen in public, or for most in private either, with the likes of Bannon or the other operatives around Trump.

Spot on...

I've been confronted by Trump supporters because they walked past me on the street, and over heard myself and a friend talking about Hillary, and speaking ill of their new God.

Don't worry Republicans, we won't take any more liberties with this prez, than you did with President Obama.

BTW, with the number of generals that Trump is appointing, expect a war to be declared in the next six months. Then he can shut down dissent.

They don't know the definition of patriot.

The majority of Republican politicians are evil treasonous bastards.

They don't give a damn about this country or 99% of it's citizens.

They sicken me.

I doubt it, because Drumpf's nutcase supporters will make death threats (at the least) to that person and their family.

These are not rational people. Hard times ahead.

My last immigrant ancestor was a mail order bride to Salt Lake City.

She didn't like sharing a husband so she ran off with a monogamous U.S. surveyor.

I think the Mormons have a long memory. Their missionaries never knock on our doors.

Sorry, not after the last 8 years (Obama who happened to win the popular vote twice). Also, I will never support a misogynist, racist who is intent on enriching himself at everyone else's expense. Also Putin.

As far as I'm concerned, their orange con man, sexual predator hero is as much of an enemy and threat to this country as any terrorist.

Being considered a "traitor" by these mindless numbnuts is a badge of honor to me. They can take whatever-the-fuck their vision of America is and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
