Jesus Christ.
It's amazing what kind of outrageous hatred, bigotry, and xenophobia that Donald Trump has brought out in people. There's a reason why nothing comparable happens at Hillary Clinton rallies, and even at rallies for regular republicans. It's insane.

There are some recent polls that have Trump leading. After months of decline and a video where he talks about groping women, he is now increasing in the polls right before the election!
Jesus Christ. I still just can't believe this election is even happening.

This is why it's essential to spend the next eight days campaigning for Hillary; the local election will mean nothing if Trump wins the white house and gets to assign the next four supreme court judges. And if he does, Republicans will probably still maintain the majority in the senate. It probably won't be so great.

Strange chant. Is "JEW-S-A" supposed to mean he's against the USA being run by Jews? Doing a quick search, it also appears he's some kind of actor. I dunno, it seems fishy

I don't think this kind of guilt by association very convincing either, especially when there are really mental people on both sides. Better to attack policies, or even his character in the kind of non-ad hominem way Sam Harris has

Trump is more of a symptome than a cause. He has just managed to capitalize on a general mood that has been present. The left carry a big part of the responsibility for Trump and the alt-right. It's the pendulum starting to swing the other way... except it's more like a wrecking ball

I don't find it fishy, I doubt the conspiracy theories. A lot of people are some kind of aspiring actor.

I agree with this, though.

Possibly equally disturbing-

Recently, there was an African American supporter of Trump's (I know, that in and of itself is pretty insane) trying to get Donald Trump's attention to pass him a note of advice. He started walking near the stage, yelling, "Donald!" and waving his note.
The crowd assumed he was a protester (I wonder why ) and Trump said, quote, "By the way, were you paid $1,500 to be a thug?"
Jesus Christ. He just doesn't stop. It's like everyday some new form of outstanding bigotry comes from Trump or his supporters.

Does anyone honestly believe he would react similarly to a white guy, calling him a 'thug'?
No wonder he only has 4% support among African Americans.
