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.

Donald Trump may or may not be able to make America great again, we have fallen far, but he will at least put a priority working to help all of the embattled and under siege people that made America great in the first place and who have been marginalized and made voiceless by the progressives and by the corrupt politicians in both parties
Bernie unleashed the totalitarian communists, so it’s only fair.
Another of her vapid articles.
Lock her up, build the wall, and hang you fn traitors.
They forgot that one.
So that’s what Garth would look like after the “change”.
“Hate unleashed-How Donald Trump unleashed the Rightwing bigots that the GOP once kept under control”
Must be referring to all those “Republicans” on TV proudly proclaiming their vote for Hitlery, and the Bushes, Colin Powell, Ben Gleck, McConnell Johnny B, etc.
Leftist definition of “bigots” = anyone who is not a Leftist
Rightwing bigots = redundant Leftist term
I have an unhealthy dislike for the left. They’re evil.
Wait till you get a look at what Black Lives Matter is “unleashing” sweetheart.
Heather sure is full of hate, isn’t she?
Anybody not like her is BAD.
These people would send us all to re-education camp if they could, make no mistake about it.
LOL!!
I briefly tuned into NPR yesterday evening and Maureen Dowd was a guest on some leftist propaganda show, incessantly denigrating Trump and the "deplorables" who support him, and willfully turning a blind eye to Hillary's blatant crimes.
Reporters overhear snippets about how wild black girls are? Did they get any phone numbers?
Reporters overhear...
What reporters?
Name them.
They're already effectively sending our children to them, if only subtly.
Salon...
Idiots, ignore them
Anyone who disagrees with them is a racist hater
Heard their “other” name on the radio this morning:
Black Lives Matter = Black Lives Murder
Who cares what Salami thinks?....................
The left has a tradition of degrading and dehumanizing its opponents. It assuages what passes for a conscience when the time comes to push non-lefties into the gas chambers.
