Not sure if this has been posted. But it's powerful. Jared Sexton went to a Trump rally and tweeted his reactions to what he saw.

A sample:
Will be live tweeting from Trump's rally in Greensboro tonight. I'm sure it'll be measured and thoughtful.
Trump event like a security state. Just watched a girl get denied for being "too alternative."
There's an ungodly amount of extremely drunk people here.
Tailgating in parking lots. Vendors selling Hillary Sucks But Not Like Monica shirts. General awfulness.
Big seller is a shirt that says Trump That Bitch. Everyone wearing one is being asked to pose for pictures. Big thumbs up. Big grins.
Guy wearing Socialism Sucks shirt and lip syncing to Tiny Dancer. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Just got told I don't "look right."
Bragging that he took credentials from WA Post. Crowd yells Kill them all.
Protestor being manhandled out the door, supporters following, saying they're going to kick his ass
Father explaining Clinton let her husband have "all kinds of oral sex" to his ten year old
This is just soul crushingly awful
People breaking beer bottles in parking lot, throwing them on ground and at passing cars
Child in Cub Scout uniform told his dad he wanted a banana split, got spanked angrily. What is going on
Just sitting in parking lot. Everyone passing with these evil little grins. There's so much ugliness. I keep saying it but it's true.
Read the rest. Brave soul.

Hey, if dumb ass talking head can say this about Muslims, then why not the other way around?

(10,271 posts)They either understand that Trump is what Trump REALLY IS, or they've been listening to fox, limbaugh et al for the entirety of their adult lives.
At this point, they either understand that theyre inherently liberal, or they're plain crazy with hate and fear.
No more cutting deals with them, no more trying, no more moving the goal posts and more half-measures...Hillarys expierence 'working across the isle' be dammed. This election is the time to destroy their Party and BE DONE WITH IT.

(34,582 posts)I'm a liberal white male, so I hope there are some others that, while I disagree with, aren't totally crazy.
