Just saw clips of Trump's Rally last night;He is throwing out Dog whistles.

What really made me worry was the phrase about Democrats "They are too dangerous to rule" calling Democrats "unhinged" and calling democrats "The Dims"

I live in a "Red" area/very conservative. Those who had been rational Republicans has become quiet and I at my work place hear Trumps words being used a lot more around work and those they know are democrats they seem to feel they are "incompetent" to do the job. Thankfully Supervisors have not gotten involved but it does make me nervous.

And the dogs were all howling in support!!!

Let's face the ugly truth...our friends and family members who continue to support Trump...are the same as those Germans who supported Hitler...a group of racists, bigots, religious fanatics, and misogynists!

The time is coming when Trump will push forward the idea that he should remain in the White House and lead the US...and your friends will support this idea without question...just as they will support the internment of anyone who doesn't agree with their beliefs!

The evil that was Hitler and the Nazis has been resurrected by Trump and the Republican party...using the same tactics...fear and hatred!!!

Trump is actively working to start a civil war. He is an increasingly serious threat to our country.

...it would be about six million people -- and there were no nukes back then. Those dog-whistling idiots who think another Civil War would be somehow cool need to get out of their fantasy world and learn some real history.
