As profoundly disturbing as Donald Trump is, we are far and away more troubled by the legion of those who support him.
We've seen their posts to Facebook and their Tweets. We've received their email chains and heard their defense of Donald Trump’s horrifying lies, racist, sexist, and culturally and religiously intolerant claims at social gatherings. Enough.

We understand from a Washington Post/ABC News poll that the majority of Trump's Republican supporters are white, less educated and working class. It’s easy to see a correlation between this poll and a report released last month by two Princeton economists which found that less educated, working class, middle-aged whites were dying at higher rates due to alcoholism, suicide and drug overdoses. Ennui and hopelessness are blamed. Since the Great Recession hit and income inequality exploded, this group has found itself more and more on the margins of society with their collective voice silenced. They’ve lost their jobs, their pensions, their homes. They've lost hope. And Trump has given voice to their rage through hate speechs – and if he becomes president, hateful actions.

Who honestly cares.
Booo!
Never mind those of us that are college graduates, own our own business; police officers; fire fighters; lawyers; contractors; plumbers; and the list goes on...
Oh well, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all of the time....
Where are all these Facebook posts? The only ones I see are hateful TOWARDS Trump.
They get the Concern Troll Nobel Prize. What noive!
Wait till they discover that Trump’s supporters include 70-80% of Americans!
What is a Pariot? Person who penned this must have downed a bottle of Scotch.
You should worry more about ‘you’. You are a bunch of racist bigots.
These people will be shocked when 25% of the black vote and 40% of the hispanic vote goes for trump.
Further proof that if Liberals ever achieved power, they’d put us all in Concentration Camps.
What is patriotic about the Patriot Ledger?
Wow, I’ve always said that Obama isn’t the problem...he is what he is...but the people that put him in office twice are TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE for the mess we are in. Before singling out Trump supporters for what “might” happen, it would be best to link hard at Obama supporters for what “HAS” happened. It didn’t work did it?
And being worked to death.
Actually they are fascist. They want to take away my rights and guns because they know better. Come and get them you fascist pigs.
Schools been blown to pieces.
How dare that rag call themselves the Patriot Ledger? They are truly a liberal socialist propaganda sheet. They better fear troe patriots, because this country is due for an enema.
