Sorry to invoke Godwin's Law so early in the thread, but I can't help but see the comparisons.

If you haven't already. The Disinformation folks could easily take over a great thread.

I see shades of Radio Rwanda in the media on this.

Nothing would be better for ratings than people hurt, bloodied in chaos.

My mom was even talking to me about an article she read that was saying that after Trump wins ((MY BLOOD FUCKING FREEZES AT THE VERY THOUGHT)) he'll "calm down" because that's what politicians do. That all of this rhetoric will go away the second that he realizes that he has to govern and he needs other people to do that.

My mom noted that according to the article, the exact same comment about "calming down after he gets into office" was made about Hitler. And we all know how that turned out.

The power will only go to his egomaniac head. It certainly was the same with Hitler.
