The Clinton rally I went to had a large Secret Service contingent. No matter how organized and good they are you worry in this heated climate. We just have too many loons out and about.

(24,615 posts)but in my red area it is much worse than 2008 or 2012. Trump doesn't do dog whistles; he calls outright for violence and revenge. The swaggering rednecks around here boasting about their 2nd Amendment "rights" are downright scary!

(58,721 posts)it definitely is getting worse. But it's not starting now. The RW in general has been going lower and lower over the years.
The racial and sexist crap used to be just an undercurrent. Trump has brought it to the surface, and it's ugly.

I think he may have been a heckler, because several times the crowd just broke out into chants of "Hillary! Hillary!" while Mrs. Clinton was speaking, probably to drown out this guy.
