I was also deeply disturbed by that video. The few Trump supporters I know would probably see that video and say “well that’s not me!” as if ignoring the racist and xenophobic spirit of Trump’s campaign somehow absolves them.

Right, that video clearly shows that Trump rallies are safe spaces for racists. I don’t want to hear anyone else tell me how Trump voters will surprise me. This is what I was afraid a Trump rally was and, yep, there it is...

I have been saying that since the beginning of this farce of an election. Every time one of the GOP whines about Trump bringing the party down I want to remind them that this is simply the chickens coming home to roost.

Yep. It’s a little rich for Republicans to get outraged by Trump’s behavior when he’s just expressing what they’ve been expressing all along, only in slightly more overt terms.

THIS. Liz Mair made some great points, but she should know that the Orange One is just the culmination of what the party has been moving towards for decades. The rise and takeover of the Tea Party faction was merely a catalyst of the party descending into madness. It’s not that he’ll “take the party down,” as she…

I would actually put Jill Stein ahead of Donald Trump. Not because of work experience, but because she is less likely to tell everyone classified information or start a nuclear war.

When decades of “government is the problem” rhetoric, combined with virulent anti-intellectualism, combined with worship of business enterprise above social good, combined with continual stoking of racist, sexist, xenophobic fear and hatred all finally coalesce into the puffed-up tangerine spectre of Donald Trump—the…

You’re beautiful; this comment is really, really, great- it's the best comment. It’s making KINJA great again!

“Except it wasn’t really a horse, but a mangy goat covered in rotten marmalade who thinks he’s a unicorn."

This comment deserves all the stars. It’s amazing. It is the best comment.

the GOP let the horse out of the barn a long time ago but only now is closing the doors. Except it wasn’t really a horse, but a mangy goat covered in rotten marmalade who thinks he’s a unicorn.

Yes, I’m not sure what the shaming surrounding people utilizing social programs designed to level the playing field/provide needed support is. Can’t bootstrap if you have no shoes.

That’s the logical conclusion yes. But to think like a Trump supporter you need to add some bigotry, fear mongering and entitlement and then you’ll realize that affirmative action is just taking things from hard working white people and giving it to black people who don’t deserve it because black people get to have…

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that...

Same with people of color who go to Trump’s rallies to support him and are shocked they’re distrusted and attacked: I’m supposed to feel bad that you’re so naive or stupid that you think you can support a racist and not have it blow up in your face? I can’t deal with that kind of cognitive dissonance.

The two loud and proud Trump supporters I know are women. One of them said Trump has a good heart. Girlfriend, he needs to have a heart to even have a good one.

Right! Where were all these women when they kicked out more than a dozen black women at a campus in Georgia or that young (black) lady that was assaulted and humiliated at a Trump rally? They picked the wrong hill to die on but hey, they’re gonna cape for each other. Women, gays, blacks and Latinos in the GOP are…

Well said. The lack of persistent follow up questions to his banalities is truly infuriating.

First off - the fact that this man has no empathy and is clearly a narcissist is one thing. But can we please acknowledge that he can not even speak about “women” or “women’s issues” without talking as if he’s speaking to men about them? By that, I mean he will keep saying “I’m gonna be so good for women. Women love…
