"Read This Man’s Terrifying Account of Standing Silently at a Trump Rally"
More: http://usuncut.com/news/standing-silently-at-a-trump-rally/
"James Troup boldly went to Donald Trump’s Dayton, Ohio, rally last
weekend to silently observe the crowd’s response to Trump’s rhetoric and
people of color within the audience. Troup’s account of his experience
is going viral.
According to Troup, the crowd was mostly white, with a small number
of people of color scattered throughout the audience. A big part of the
billionaire Republican front-runner’s message that night was based on
fear:
“He told Ohioans that only oil was propping up their state and that
their economy was in serious trouble. He said this over and over again,”
Troup wrote. “He also told the crowd that ISIS was out to kill them.
That ISIS was putting 50 people at a time in cages and drowning them in
the ocean. And that we had to kill them first.”
Then, Troup noted that the rally took a noticeably darker turn:
“Cheers for water boarding. Cheers for torture. Calls to cut off
their heads… They loved everything that was being said. The calls for
the wall. The calls to blow up oil fields. The calls to torture and kill
people.”

Dick Cheney! tRumo, as well as his "followers" are a scary, frightening lot. After the election, when DickHead goes down in flames, I fear some of his most ardent disciples will come completely unhinged. Thanks, Trump! You bigoted, racist, vile, lying PIECE OF DOGSHIT You truly turn my stomach!
