A coworker of mine and I got into it about the election. She still believes Obama wasn't born here and is a Muslim and how Hillary is going to implement Sharia Law and then informed me that once she gets into office, we are going to be sent to concentration camps (?) where they will convert us to fight for ISIS. (Seriously?, I could give you her number if you two would like to hook up). That's the worse thing I've heard in person from the Trumpkins. Then you have all the other deplorables chanting "Lock her up," "Hang her," "Execute her," "Trump that bitch," "F--- that c*nt." Such kind words from the party of Jesus. You stay classy, Republicans.

One donning a "Make America Great Again" hat.  I don't know enough Trump supporters to see anything too interesting.

Not the most deplorable, but I was literally talking to a Trump supporter at a bar just when I was out tonight down in a more blue collar area of town.  The dude had an America shirt on, told me he wanted to punch Obama for the way he talked to the protester at a rally.  I was playing along pretending to be kind of on the fence and apathetic, but when he said that I was like, oh hey let me go find this video I want to see this, so I got my phone out and of course in the video Obama actually says plenty of nice things about the protester and gets the crowd to stop harassing him.  The guy just claimed that was the wrong video and that there were no videos of the event he was talking about because the mainstream media was covering it up and wouldn't let any get on Youtube.

Hmm. The individual stories don't bug me as much because we've always known there were cooks like that. For me, it has always been the chants of "lock her up" that really get me. They shake me at my core almost every time I hear them.

- it's violent
- it's devoid of facts
- it's against the spirit of the rule of law
- it's not the kind of positive thing a political crowd should be chanting
- it's an unprecedented vilification of Hillary

... the list of things goes on, which points to the fact that it pretty much embodies all the worst aspects of Trump's campaign. Throw in the fact that I actually really love Hillary, and I think "lock her up" is the perfect storm of things that would "trigger me."

Incredible denial of reality. When something doesn't actually exists, it's because of an elaborate conspiratorial scheme to cover up things - not because the crackpot idiot who told you this (likely Alex Jones) is just full of sh**t.

Have you tried giving her the number of a good psychotherapist?

The whole shouting "Bill Clinton is a rapist" thing might be the most deplorable widespread thing I've seen.  Their candidate confessed to habitually committing sexual assault, and instead of pushing back, they accepted it and explained it away by saying "well at least he's not as bad as this other guy who's not running for president" by dredging up these absurd accusations from decades ago by clearly troubled, unstable women with political vendettas against Bill Clinton, gleefully latching onto the most outrageous claims, and then running around trying to disrupt not just rallies but innocent events like talk shows, live reporting setups, even sporting events, with big signs that said "BILL CLINTON IS A RAPIST!" and shouting "BILL CLINTON IS A RAPIST!  INFOWARS DOT COM!  BILL CLINTON, RAPIST!  INFOWARS DOT COM!"

I also hated how liberals would meekly say "hey wise guy Bill Clinton's not on the ballot."  Bill Clinton also DIDN'T RAPE ANYBODY.  Don't give them that victory.  Nobody listened to me though and now I bet if you polled Democrats half of them would say Bill Clinton did rape whoever it was, just because the position became to accept that Bill had all these "flaws."

Yelling "INFOWARS DOT COM" is the same effect as "I AM A NUTSO WACKJOB" to most people.

Overheard at a grocery store:

"I mean, they're both unhinged. But wouldn't you rather have a unhinged guy than a unhinged woman? You know how they get."

That shirt is some of the best campaign material I have ever seen!! This season has gotten so creative.

Unfortunately, I have yet to see anything like that first hand.

I remember an incredibly (surprisingly) racist post just on this very forum yesterday, but I can't find it. There are too many threads to search through. I believe it was from a green avatar, but I'm not even sure about that.

Yeah the worst part of this election was seeing so many on the "cucked" left try to meet the deplorables down the middle and buy into their narrative.

Yup, also sick and tired of the articles that are like "Hillary Clinton is terrible, awful, disgusting, I hate her, she stole the primary from Bernie, honestly she should be in jail over her emails, see folks I'm just like you!  BUT Trump is so so so much worse and here's why, you should never vote for him, so please vote for her."  People seem to think that writing that kind of article will convince the deplorables so there have been about two dozen such endorsements of Hillary.  It's very much not appreciated because Hillary isn't actually any of those things.

Trump supporters threatening to rape a friend who's a Catholic Hispanic lady in Texas. I've seen a lot of sh**tty behavior by Trump supporters this election.
