This one was an act of terrorism, the other one is just intimidating speech. The fact is, more white supremacists and neo nazis support trump than any other presidential candidate.

    Data from Public Policy Polling show that a third of Mr. Trump’s backers in South Carolina support barring gays and lesbians from entering the country.

    The P.P.P. poll asked voters if they thought whites were a superior race. Most Republican primary voters in South Carolina — 78 percent — disagreed with this idea (10 percent agreed and 11 percent weren’t sure). But among Mr. Trump’s supporters, only 69 percent disagreed.

    70 percent of Mr. Trump’s voters in South Carolina wish the Confederate battle flag were still flying on their statehouse grounds.

    38 percent of them wish the South had won the Civil War

    Nearly 20 percent of Mr. Trump’s voters disagreed with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Southern states during the Civil War.

Being afraid of trump supporters is rational behaviour if you're gay, lesbian, black, brown, transgender or any other disliked minority group.

Edit: nevermind.

I've had PMs with enough lieutenants of the Fempire to know that the goal isn't discourse, it's discord... and to know that the troglodytes left aren't in on the joke, they're part of it. I feel foolish for not seeing the pattern.
