It's Wayne's World!

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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s “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 can’t trust Latinos. Some maybe, but not most,” “Immigrants aren’t people, honey” and “You know them crazy black girls, how they are.” Something feral and undomesticated has been set free.

Barf warning?
What is the proof, Salon?
“Right-wing” uses words.
Leftists use fists, rioting, impediment, killing, and get away with being “peace-loving” freedom-fighters.
Start a chart of how many incidents are RW vs. LW. I think you’ll find out who the real “haters” are.
Salon still publishing?
TRUCK load!
Heather should not be using quotes unless there is something to quote. Another delusional.
The only hate *I* hear is the wailing caterwauling and frenzied shrieks of the LEFT, towards TRUMP.
She’s too pathetic looking to even look smug.
Pitiful.

If she's even that.

I’d hit it with a dump truck.
Such a perfect match it’s scary.
I am a right wing bigot, homophobe, racist, xenophobe, etc.
Typically shrill salon baloney.
Progressives don’t know how to hate. The are the only people with pure motives and high moral standards.
A transexual Garth!
Yes they are. They just have a hell of a strange way of showing it.
Is it Digby or dingbat?
Geeze, Laz, your standards have improved............somewhat............
I smell fear and desperation.
When you fear an enemy it clouds your thinking. When you are desperate, you inevitably make mistakes.
Salon is a window to the thinking of Marxists, progressives , liberal Democrats (sorry for the redundancy).

They retreat into their na-na land version of reality by calling everyone with a different opinion "haters".
