This is literally the mindset of a huge swath of Trump’s base. From the outset of his campaign, when everyone still thought it was just a joke that would be entertaining until Jeb! took his rightful place at the top of the GOP dogpile, I was horrified.

I was horrified because I grew up in a family of people with this…

Funny? Or likely? I’m going to go with likely. Yet another reminder that dog-whistles have consequences.

Ah yes, Trump supporters committing fraud in order to combat the non-existent fraud they claim is already happening. How funny would it be if this year sees an all-time high for voter fraud, but all due to Republican voters?

Right?? Go submit it in a short-story contest. Not here. For this is HALLOWED GROUND! (totally not kidding.)

Too soon to tell.

We won’t know for a couple of days. If only somebody could reveal Trump’s tax returns to level the playing field.

Right. I’m sure there are a few real experiences in the bunch, but I’d be very surprised if the vast majority weren’t entirely invented, heavily exaggerated or told in the first person when they’re actually “friend of a friend of a friend” stories or old family legends.

Listen, Buzz Killington, the point of scary stories is to scare people. It worked. Go back to telling little kids Santa isn’t real.

Yeah, but it isn’t “Give us your best works of short fiction.”

Dammit. WTF with these fakes. I kind of figured it was fake but still disappointed.

“We didn’t have an armoire.”

Not enough.

I really hope something can be done. I hate the thought of it being open season on places like nature refuges, but something like this will just encourage similar or worse behaviors from other like-minded idiots.

Got my first job offer! 80k base salary. ^-^

You guys, I HAVE to tell someone my dream.

That would require me to use Twitter. Fuuuuuuuuuck THAT.

A wee Tweetbeat:

Or when you buried the hatchet eight years ago, and Hillary worked closely with Barack as his SoS for four years and everyone became friends. Funny how things actually do change when you are not a whiney baby who holds grudges forever.

And Obama and Michelle bashed Hillary when they were running against her. Funny how rivals in primary campaigns can join together for a general election. So funny.
