What's scary is the election is still 3 months away and he's already take election rhetoric to new lows. What's he going to be saying in October when he's down 15?

His followers are very very angry and demented, as a whole (not all are like that, but many are like you said).

They are full of darkness and fear. I listened to a few of them go on at a store and everything just made you want to go "geez guys the way you talk we're all going to be in Hunger Games or Walking Dead type world shortly!" They need some help....

the couple people I know who are conservative minded and pro-Chump and his insanity, have numerous weapons and one is always talking about apocalyptic crap, and you nailed it... if their wannabe-ruler got in power, and he started ramping up actions against liberals and media/universities, they would very well go along with his insanity! That's what makes his rhetoric so dangerous. It happened to the Germans, as they got lulled into more and more judgmental speech from their leader, until before they knew it, even if they wanted to voice a complaint about what they knew was happening, they couldn't or they'd be whisked away...

Chump's latest week of insane comments just screams he's dangerous as all those GOP operatives, like 50 of them I think, have said he'd be to the US and our economic stability and presence being maintained overseas.

4. This is the culmination of years of effort by the Republican party

And their preachers of hate on the radio and in the pulpits.

The NRA is the church militant with their military assault weapons at the ready. And the Führer just told them what do do when Hillary becomes President!

I tell you decent people in this country had better stand up this fall in the GE and send a clear and unmistakable message to these neo nazi pigs that we will not allow a fascist never ending night of terror to descend over this country!

Could possibly be murder and suicide.

This is the end game for these people. It's always the end game.

I didn't count, but it looked about 50/50. The people at his rallies may all be angry but not all (dare I hope?) are following him into madness.

9. I really worry about his cult losing their collective shit when Hillary wins

The republican party has been heading the way it's been for quite some time, but the establishment was able to keep the crazies more or less at bay. That changed when a Black man was elected president, and they decided to let the inmates run the asylum - not just with further encouragement of the Tea Party/batshit crazy element to go out and vote, organize, etc. but turning over a lot of power to them as well. So blinded by their, "We have to stop Obama at all costs," they didn't see that the creation of the monster that has given them Trump had jumped ahead exponentially.

In 2008, Nancy Pelosi's daughter made a short documentary on the election. One of the most striking moments was a stereotypical southern redneck bubba actually crying over Obama winning because there was no longer anything that just belonged to the white man anymore. That sense of loss has fueled their hatred for the past 8 years.

When Hillary wins, it's going to be a further beatdown on their worldview, and after 8 years of having a Muslim/Nigger in the White House, now they're dealing not with just a woman leading the country but the one that everyone from their news stations to their pastors have denounced for near-on 30 years.

I shudder to think how they're going to react especially with Trump's dog-whistling rhetoric.
