Regarding the various Trump rallies of the faithful,

how long before the brown shirts and torch light parades?

The rally attendees are, of course, the true visible fringe of the far right, but the Trumpenista movement also has its silent sympathizers as well.

If Trump told them to leave the rally and go find heathens and nonbelievers and pagans, etc., and make them "patriotic" like they are, by force, if necessary, they would. Without a thought, they would.

And yes, some would. Look at the brutality of the supposedly well trained Border Patrol agents.

But we both know that in any group, there are a certain number of low information haters.

I recognize a number of the prominently placed attendees. Reporting has quotes from various attendees who have gone to many events. One women claimed she has only missed two of his rallies. Period.

Nothing will affect most of these attendees. Nothing. The only good news is that there weren't that many of them. There were well under 8,000 max. Williams Arena is considered a cozy or intimate venue.

Now they wear the maga shirts and flag apparel but watch for 2020 the introduction of arm bands. I suspect the design will be similar to the swastiza.

It’s coming fellow du’ers.
