Related: About this forumHillary's head on a pike? Just another day at a Trump rally.
I'm relieved to see the press pick up on this, since I was in full on scream at the television mode when I saw it the other night. People do not get into those rallies with things like that without them having been checked out. So it's torches and pitchforks and death threats kids. Just so's you know what he's encouraging.

(41,963 posts)I don't know how much to fear specifically for her but when that kind of thing is tacitly condoned it makes violence the norm. It's horrific. What has happened to us?

(41,963 posts)I know that he's playing to the baser natures of people who are angry, but that can go far enough to wreak havoc for them as well as the people they despise. I'm not surprised by its existence but the fact that it's getting to be acceptable scares the crap out of me.
