Alice, did you read where I said *the establishment*, meaning the ruling elite
is doing the laughing. All of the things you mention are being visited on the
common man, and not the rich Trump buddies that share in his country club
mentality. Do you really think when the Trump kids land their helicopters on
the deck of the Trump Princess (all 281 feet of it) and have cocktails they
are really saddened by all that you mentioned? I think not I think they are
laughing all the way to the bank. It is like when baby Bush was questioned
about the tragedy of 9-11 and he was giggling and snickering like a 10 year old
school girl.

Really? You think anyone is laughing at the incredible violence, hatred,
bigotry, ruthlessness, utter lack of moral compass or conscience simmering just
below the surface at those Trump rallies? And it doesn't always stay below the
surface, and there are tens, hundreds of thousands of others just like them who
are not in the spotlight as attendees at rallies and conventions. I don't think
the establishment is laughing. It's even fairly obvious that the establishment
of Trump's own party is running scared, finally having woken up. Let's not make
the same mistake that too many people made during the rise of the Nazis, with
all those throngs with much the same bubbling up in them, too that too many
people did not take seriously. The resentment toward the groups accused by
Trump and his followers of being responsible for all their woes and discontent
is incredibly virulent and it's no holds barred once they step over the line of
shouting epithets and going into attack mode.

laughing at those people.

Yes, number four is people who are just plain pissed off and want to poke the
establishment in the eye.

Hi all,
I've come to the following conclusion regarding Trump voters. I'll put
them
into three categories:
1. Racist whites who believe in white supremacy over all other races. I
would hope this is a relatively small number of people, but who the F
knows
anymore.
2. The majority of Trumt voters are disillusioned and fearful. They have
lost all hope and are grasping at the false hope that Trump will be a sort
of messiah who will lead America out of a dark place. I'd say many of them
are either living on less than they once did orare working longer hours to
maintain economic status quo.They believe that imigrants are either taking
away their jobs or sponging off of our social programs.
3. those wealthy folks who would never vote for a Democrat.
Have I left anyone out?
