    I don’t normally pick at the physical appearances of people just for the sake of it, but I’ve noticed that Trump attracts a certain type of follower. Take a look at the people in the background of the next Trump rally and tell me what you see.

    Those people and these people are the same. Just a bunch of trashy hillbillies. These klansmen are not the fringe supporters of Trump’s cult, they’re the ones down in the front. Like wax statues melting in the sun, their eyes glazed over enraptured as word salad pours out of Donald Trump’s mouth.

    And don’t say “well that guy wearing the klan outfit is just a troll, the other people there are not associated with that!”. If you’ve got one Nazi in a bar full of people, you’re in a Nazi bar. If you’ve got one klansman at a Trump rally, you’re at a klan rally.

      Other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people. This is exactly the kind of elitism they talk about encountering.

        oh don’t mind him that’s just Freddy, he don’t like 'em colored folk and gays, he’s a good kid, I knew his momma

        Are you fucked în the head? “other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people” what in the shit does that mean? Why the fuck is the Klan present there? Why is nobody chasing them away? How the shit are you doing anything in your life and you see goddamn nazis next to you waving the swastika and you don’t stop to think “yo, maybe I shouldn’t be here”? How do “normal people” end up mixed with Klan members and just roll with it, motherfucker? HOW?

          Because the comment I replied to called all Trump rally goers hillbilly trash in a general sense. Yeah the people in this picture have an issue. Calling everyone who supports Trump hillbilly trash is exactly the elitist take the far right feeds on.
