Related: About this forumTYT: Trump Will Be "Taking A Look At" Getting Rid Of Muslims
At a town hall event in New Hampshire yesterday, Donald Trump managed to outdo himself with this interaction with a supporter concerning muslims, training camps, and President Obamas heritage. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"There are lunatics in every crowd. This one declared, "We have a problem in this country: It's called Muslims....They have training camps growing where they want to kill us." Then he asked, "When do we get rid of them?" Did he mean all the Muslims? Just the fantasy training camps? Who knows. But all Trump said was this: "We're going to be looking at a lot of different things." No pushback, no nothing.*

Yes, that guy in the audience is an "incipient Nazi" as one of those on the TYT panel said.
This process is unfolding EXACTLY as Chris Hedges has been saying for several years. Read his works; watch his talks on YouTube.
As socio-economic problems worsen, society "vomits up" (Hedges' words) these types of demagogues and others with an authoritarian mindset. I shudder to think of where this is leading.

That may be the most effed up thing I've ever seen in a presidential campaign. And that's really saying something.
