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.

Please provide hate incidents Hillary backers vs Trumpsters.
The only things filled with hate are the author and this article
The tears of these people if Trump wins are going to be just glorious.
Sounds like someone has soiled their underoos. Get ‘e ma safe space and a binky.
But the author does have one thing right - I despise these leftist aholes with a white hot burning passion. Run, bitches.
Another moonbat. Guessing she’s from a broken home, absent or loser father, loose NOW mother. Tells lies and believes them to create in her head an imaginary world she is an expert on, but likely actually feels lost and confused in reality with natural laws and cause/effect. Cognitive dissonance likely very high with her.
I would hit it - with a car door at 35 mph.
I think little Heather majored in hate at her leftist arts college. “Hate-Studies.”
I can tell you, though, they won't be easy on Hillary. That, I'm looking forward to.
The Russians.
Heather’s a Hater. She needs to explore her issues with ordinary Americans, and heal herself.
No matter who wins, the poop’s going to hit the fan. Not expecting trouble where I am, but I’m prepared nevertheless.
Same here.
I love the way these `progressives’ call us haters—just before unlimbering their sharp, venom-dripping tongues and calling us every pejorative name they can think of.
they haven’t seen hate yet..
So, now we’re all irredeemable deplorable racist bigots....
Salon should be banned on FR. Salon is on the same low level as Julius Streicher’s Der Stürmer.
If you are white and care about yourself or don’t support Leftism then you are a bigot. Makes sense, right?
