I didn't editorialize the title, sadly.

These idiots are scary.


Which ones? The attendees? Or the author?

I'm seeing about equal amounts of hate from both - and, unlike the author, I don't have the luxury of cherrypicking what goes in the article.

Air Force One buzzing the hangar was a nice touch. And the gap-toothed guy.

All of them.


Thing is, I'd be inclined to not believe the guy interviewed who said he wanted Trump as a dictator, but I've heard people around saying that exact sentiment. And we see it in Trump worship graphics.

We've heard them. We've seen the graphics. All they prove is that fools exist, something that wasn't actually in need of proof.

Obama talked (joked?) once about ruling without Congress.... the crowd cheered and chanted "Yes we can! Yes we can!"

The Trump Side and Obama thing are like mirror images of one another. Neither represent anything close to conservative, Constitutional or sane.

I just found that, between the turgid yet breathless prose, and the author's feeeelings, I couldn't give a damn about what he had to say.

If this sentiment becomes widespread, we are simply doomed as a republic. No matter if it's Obama or Trump or anyone else.
