Nope. He let people kick the shit out of someone at his rally and spoke approvingly of it. I’m certain it’s going to happen.

As soon as it happens once, the floodgates will open. It’s not too hard to imagine coordinated civilian attacks against immigrants and Muslims popping up all over the place.

Considering the Sik Temple in Oak Creek WI was attacked 2 years ago because the shooter thought it was a mosque without any provocation. I don’t think it’s going to take a whole lot.

and yet the collective media rolled their eyes and allowed him to become an influential public figure, giving him a large forum to peddle this garbage.

People are dead because of the campaign against Planned Parenthood. Non-whites who dared protest at Trump rallies have been openly attacked already. I don't think your speculation is insane or over the top, sadly.

liberal centrist media can ignore him all they want but look at the numbers for conservative TV and radio

But his power also comes from the thousands and thousands of actual American voters who want him in office. Like if he were just a pundit or a talking head or whatever this would be true—but his existence as a political candidate with a lot of support reflects his ability to catalyze a certain kind of ultra…

This isn’t just an issue of the campaign.

Before all is said and done, I truly believe someone will be dead and it will be at the hands of angry racists riled up by Trump’s angry rhetoric. It might be a Muslim, or it might be a Latino. But it will be someone Trump has declared not worthy of the privileged of living in America. He has inspired a large group of…

Trump is, and always has been, a terrible human being. The alarming part is how many other, apparently terrible, human beings there are out there that agree with him. Constantly. Link to a bunch of morons voicing their support of banning Muslims from the USA:

The main effect Trump has is to make all these people look sane by comparison.

...You did read the bit at the end where he talks about his almost-SS-aged kid, right? Unless you want to read reviews of Sesame Street written by 3 year olds?

Family Matters without Urkel was boring, with Urkel it was excruciating.

Or maybe all politicians on the campaign trail should have their own laugh track?

At least he immediately realized the stupidity of what he said, which is more than his brother did, from what I remember.

If a teacher did they would be fired. If a winning coach does it, it’s called “passion” or “fiery.”

He’s a sociopath but hey, he wins (it’s why people like Bobby Knight lasted so long).

And winning is everything, right?

This dickbag makes $95K a year as a head coach for a public school in Georgia??? Wtf
