Related: About this forumTrump Supporters' Battle Cry: “Hang That B*tch!”
Jared Yates Sexton recently attended a Trump rally in Greensboro, NC and reported that he heard chants where Hillary Clinton was called a "bitch." Not shocking. She is a successful woman and nothing annoys a group of Republicans than a woman. Ok, they are also annoyed by gay people, people of color, anyone of a different religion, the disabled, etc. But a smart woman, a Democrat nonetheless, really gets to them.
Following the FBI and DOJ legally sound decision that no criminal charges were warranted in relation to emailgate, the supporters have become almost as unhinged as their leader. Their newest chant?
"Hang that bitch!"

They hate Hillary, we hate trump.
We are correct IMO about trump but name calling is on both sides.

Bi*ch and ni**er are not okay, not ever. Learn it.

You do not. There is no moral or even linguistic equivalence.

It is disappointing. Just when I thought DU was becoming a civil, intelligent and compassionate community again. Sigh.

(880 posts)saying something like "Donald Mortuary" or something and the comment suggesting that's where Trump belongs. Same type of thing.

The admins should be made aware for sure. So how about a link and then refer it to an admin.

Up against what is going on in black lives the last handful of days.,
They are standing on stage showing us who they are.
I saw a thread of a man pulling a gun out and sweeping the crowd a couple times. There are way more of us than there are of them.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)Republicans and Trump followers are not reasonable. They're unhinged, and some are desperate to make sure she never walks into the WH again. They cannot be trusted to do the right thing if they had to make an on-the-spot choice.

(11,949 posts)They are Trump supporters. Almost to a poster.
They have a long thread about supporting Hillary or Trump and it is almost unanimously Trump. And the few who aren't support The Greens. And no, I will not post the thread.
Now they are even praising Republicans in the house investigating her.
It has become Free Republic II.

(2,542 posts)Criticism is getting alerted on and removed, although some, like mine, get restored through the appeal process.

(47,209 posts)"Progressives" might show their sexist bigoted asses on national tv targeting Hillary because they are bitter losers. Sanders should have never made any excuses for their behavior.

(16,986 posts)I recall hearing individual members (not groups, individuals) of the crowds at McCain-Palin rallies shouting that Obama was a terrorist and should be killed.
On edit: And on social media (Facebook, for instance) I've seen violent threats against both the president and the former secretary of state, in one case explicit enough to warrant deleting.

(68,586 posts)Trump is dangerous...he has already caused damage just by being a candidate...I shudder to think what President Trump could do. Yes, the polls look good for Hillary and our side, but there is about a 40% baked in number for any GOP presidential candidate and hate sells...we need to work very hard and not get complacent about this dangerous man. He is the sort who runs once and then announces he is president for life. Also, I hope secret service is being very careful. No doubt she faces increased threats with the sort of irresponsible, reckless campaign that Trump and his minions are waging.

It will be statistically visible.
