Yes. Trump is a terrible person. His supporters are terrible people, generally. (Not all, but a large number are.) One of my friends is going to vote Trump because he's lost all faith in the system and wants it to burn. That's the general sentiment. That's why a lot of people are voting Trump: It's a "fuck you" vote. By people who hate the system, by people who are terrified of the declining economy, by people who have been brainwashed for years to hate and loathe foreigners.That's what Trump supporters want. Trump Supporter Explains Why She Made Nazi Salute
They want the Republican party destroyed. That's the main reason why he has all those supporters. I don't understand how they think that's going to help anything, but whatever. Can't change a person's thoughts once their mind is made up.
The irony here is that the very system (media, political party, et cetera) that they've lost faith in is demonizing the shit out of them. Rightfully so? Sometimes yes. Like Nazi lady, definitely. But it's only furthering the divide. You don't mend wounds by starting fights and resorting to cynical infantilism. The irony is every act of hatred against Trump and his supporters is further reinforcing their own beliefs in their hatred.
It's not unfamiliar to me. I've studied history. It happened in Germany too. Germans felt economically insecure, politically trodden on, and lost complete faith in the system after the economy crashed. The very people that could have won back tepid and uncertain Nazi supporters, before the full on brainwash hit, instead demonized and hated them, and attempted to suppress them with violence.
I'm just watching history repeat itself. Trump is a sad man craving attention. He knows how to play the manipulation game and stuff like this is only going to give him fuel to feed the engine of paranoid fear his supporters have.
You can't beat hatred with hatred.
