How could any American support any politician that would choose to go to a political rally, rather than offer solace and support to those in the middle of a disaster?
It's something only an insane person would do.
And even when Americans are trying to help each other during this crisis, he is talking more division and more insults to his political opponents.
How could any American cheer for such bullshit??

(38,427 posts)There will always be that kind of cult. There are indications that many have left the so called, "cult" and will vote for the Democratic Party for the first time ever. We will see if that is true in a few weeks.

They have wanted to express this their whole lives but this is the first time they have been free to do so. That's why he is a god to them.
So many in our country are miserable human beings at heart and are determined to remain so.

(1,587 posts)system has failed miserably in passing on the lessons of fascism in Europe. Rick Steves The Story of Fascism in Europe is a valiant attempt to remedy that. Unfortunately l doubt very much that they will see it, or the diabolical playbook borrowed from the dark times in Europe. It is up to those of us that clearly understand the dangers to redouble our efforts to stamp it out before it consumes our nation.

(823 posts)No common sense. No discernment. I would bet that most of the people at his rallies think that the Nazis were on the left.
One book: "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg 2007 started this scam. Now it is held up as truth. It's scary.

We can only wait and hope, instead of Ghana Grape, it will be 'Fake News Orange.
at this point, my only concern is that they would have enough cups.

(1,606 posts)I suspect that most--even all--of us completely understand your incredulity and sense of bewilderment and despair.
Personally, I've lost all respect for the citizenry that amasses at these hate fests, chants "lock her up" (while pretending to be flag-waving freedom lovers in what has become a police state), and laughs uproariously as the mouthpiece of all that is worst in humanity spews fear and evil, insults and ridicule and lies so loathsome and in defiance of any semblance of human decency or civility.
I despise these people with every ounce of my being. Their display of ignorance, incivility, and unabashed hatred TOWARD THE REST OF US is a national disgrace and tragedy. This cannot be tolerated. These people must be stuffed, confronted and socialized to the proper role of a citizen and decent human being within a society.

(1,606 posts)Tho' the faces and antics of those at the rallies are deplorable enough, the fissures run much deeper.
Door to door, and block by block across this diverse society, the animosities and distrust between people are widening, deepening, and hardening. At even the most intimate level of the neighborhood, humanity itself is under assault. I can't bear to even look at
some of my neighbors. I avoid interaction. I voted early to avoid going to the polls and having to look at the camo-clad, hirsute swampcritters queued up, who have recently become politically active and active voters.
Principles have been upended, turned on their heads, and even reality is under assault. Existence itself grows increasingly dichotomous.
