At a rally in Minnesota on Saturday, former President Donald J. Trump once more escalated his attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, painting her as extreme and mocking her demeanor.

    Please get worse. Much worse than Hillary. The more racist and misogynistic you and the couch-fucker get, the better. Plenty of people who are racist but don’t realize it are also turned off by overt racism.

          Sure. It’ll all come out once it doesn’t FUCKING MATTER ANYMORE.

          Wow, New York Times, Is Unity Really Over, New York Times???

          FFS. You fuckers are loathsome scum for refusing to state the obvious in an honest way. Trump has been unfathomably divisive from Day 1. Who in their fucking un-batshit mind ever thought any “unity” was even on the table for five fucking minutes? Just a corporate sewer hole wanting to normalize a fascist and wring a few more clicks out of a nicked ear.

      My thoughts exactly: Yes, Trump do please double down on the dumb! Expose the racism and sexism in your heart! Show the world what you really stand for! Don’t hold back, now: If you really think sharks are going to electrocute you and that the windmills are being constructed by liberals for the sole purpose of giving you cancer just let it all out. Use the world as your therapy couch 👍

      It will force people like my neighbors–who already proudly display Trump signs in their yards–to reveal exactly the type of people that they are.

    “We have a brand-new victim,” Mr. Trump told thousands of people inside the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn. “And, honestly, she’s a radical left lunatic.”

    I mean, when are these morons going to tire of the constant “boogieman” shit. Are they really that afraid of the world and everyone in it?

      Of course they’re afraid! If you watched/listened to right wing media every day you would be too. That’s all they talk about: The other is out to get them. To make their lives harder. To turn their children gay/trans! To steal their jobs! To replace them, the true Americans!

      If the world is too complicated for you to understand it sure feels great to hear someone simplify it for you like that. It’s not your dumb ass that’s causing any problems, it’s the others! The ones that aren’t like you! They don’t even look like you! They come from different places! They have strange and scary traditions and rituals you don’t understand! It must be a conspiracy! They’re out to take everything away from you!

      The world can’t be that complicated, right? The Right believes that everything has a simple explanation. That’s why they love talking points. Right wing media embraces this to the extreme. A scientist listening to Fox News explain something like CRISPR might just barf; it’s that bad. Whereas non-mainstream right wing media wouldn’t even try and would instead just make something up like saying, “they’re using chemicals to turn the frogs gay.”

      Yes. Yes they are afraid of the world and everything/everyone in it.

      They often have malformed amygdalas keeping them in a constant state of fear and paranoia

      Never. Some people are wired differently…to be more fearful.

      It’s comforting to have someone who expresses their fear and says they’ll do something different than the scary thing.

    Didn’t his campaign just say that his remark over not having to vote again if he gets elected was talking about unity?

    Trump its shit like that you say that gets you in hot water. Calling people victims and vermin is literally painting targets on their back

    I know he knows this, it’s just like hearing a person scream fire when there is none just to watch the chaos ensue

    “Anybody that can cheat on elections like they cheat on elections, these are not stupid people,” Mr. Trump said of Democrats, even though there is no evidence to support his claims."

    As a progressive incredibly frustrated with Dems since Obama’s misplaced moderation against extremists, I think that was inadvertently funny from NYT.
