There has been a lot of talk over this presidential campaign about the lack of enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton compared with the excitement and energy among Donald Trumps followers. It is a bit overblown; there are plenty of highly enthusiastic Clinton fans who are very excited to see the first woman president.
But it is nonetheless true that Trump has inspired a group of remarkably passionate and committed followers. And while many of these people have legitimate economic gripes that are finding expression in Trumps angry outsider populism, what electrifies many of them is something else entirely.
They chant, Build that wall! and Lock her up! They cheer wildly when Trump says he will ban Muslims and send refugees back where they came from. They catcall the media and shove and hit protesters while Trump cheers them on from the stage. They enthusiastically endorse his promise to torture terrorist suspects and take out their families and cheerfully back his calls to let the police take the gloves off to restore law and order. They wear overtly misogynist T-shirts that say Trump That Bitch and Hillary Sucks, But Not Like Monica. (A new slogan has recently been added to the collection: I wish Hillary had married O.J.)
Outside Trump rallies, where Confederate flags are commonly displayed and sold, videos show that people are worked up, energized, febrile. Reporters overhear snippets of conversation like You cant trust Latinos. Some maybe, but not most, Immigrants arent people, honey and You know them crazy black girls, how they are. Something feral and undomesticated has been set free.

It would probably be worse with Wayne!
Oh, shut up Heather, and get the boys a sandwich.
Please don’t think this is just propaganda to denigrate conservatives. They want us dead. That is not an exaggeration. Look at their accusations, they do not believe conservatives deserve to be free in society.

typical gray-haired 60’s twit! (the “i” s/b an “a.”)
Will wait for Laz professional opinion...............
WHAAAAAT? They just make stuff up. It's embarrassing for them.
LOL! Touché!
I tire of reading how I am full of hate. I work with young leftists who say I am “too nice”. The kind, patient and caring people at work are those of us who are Christians and politically conservative.
One young girl (harsh, hurting Bernie supporter) has no idea how much three of us pray for her salvation. God placed her on my heart from day one, and He did the same for my Christian co-workers. We have nothing but love for those who disagree with us-speaking the truth in love is not hate.
The left is all wrong. They denigrate the people who are trying to save the country, but supporting and turning a blind eye to the people destroying it internally and selling it out externally to the rest of the world.
As someone else noted Bernie got the anarchist left enthusiastic, so why didn't Salon (which backed Bernie) argue that they should have been shut down?
Second, Democrats have been insulting and ridiculing Republicans for a very long time. Republicans are portrayed as Bible-clinging, gun clinging, uneducated rubes by the MSM. How many articles have you read about Trump supporters are typically not as educated as those for Clinton. How many times has the President and the MSM insulted Republicans and their beliefs and indicated that they aren't worth talking to or negotiating with.
Democrats and the MSM have made this campaign personal. Look at what they have been doing to the NRA? Look at the outright lies related to ObamaCare, and they still say it is working even while it enters a death spiral.
The Democrats and the MSM are in for some pretty strict Karma, and Karma can be a real bitch.
“Please dont think this is just propaganda to denigrate conservatives. They want us dead.”
Well, it’s tit for tat then, because I want all of them dead. Funny how that works out, but since they are anti-2A, they have a serious problem. We like guns, they don’t.
I looked up Heather Digby and got a list of her Salon articles. It is instructive and funny. She must work herself up into a rage with her hands shaking when she is writing a column.
Twins separated at birth?...............
Digby in heat? Oh sorry, I know the NeverTrumpers, serious conservative crowd want us to get back to the issues.
Or his mom.............or dad.............
There, fixed it
Transgender?
She sounds like a H8er.
