He lives in Aiken, South Carolina, and says Americans should be scared about who is coming into the country. So that's why he’s for voting for Donald Trump.

older guys were talking about how Trump was going to save the Republican party. I also heard at least 3 racial slurs before I finally went off on their asses. 90% of the time I go in there I am the minority as I am in my 30s, latina & female. I try just ignoring them but when they started throwing out the slurs I lost my shit. These ppl are out of their damn minds.

A country full of hate, bigotry and gun violence. Canada would be a better choice.

I mean shooters. There have been a lot more of the home-grown variety than of those who might be connected to ISIS.

They seem to turn a blind eye to the home-grown mass murderers.
