    I don’t normally pick at the physical appearances of people just for the sake of it, but I’ve noticed that Trump attracts a certain type of follower. Take a look at the people in the background of the next Trump rally and tell me what you see.

    Those people and these people are the same. Just a bunch of trashy hillbillies. These klansmen are not the fringe supporters of Trump’s cult, they’re the ones down in the front. Like wax statues melting in the sun, their eyes glazed over enraptured as word salad pours out of Donald Trump’s mouth.

    And don’t say “well that guy wearing the klan outfit is just a troll, the other people there are not associated with that!”. If you’ve got one Nazi in a bar full of people, you’re in a Nazi bar. If you’ve got one klansman at a Trump rally, you’re at a klan rally.

      Other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people. This is exactly the kind of elitism they talk about encountering.

        Normal people don’t hang out with klansman, we beat the shit out of them.

        These people are far from normal. They’re downright weird.

            As a German I have a solution:

            If we see a Nazi, we punch them. And with see, I mean specific symbols, clothing or other specific identifiers.

            If I’m on a trump really, I should be able to punch the people in KKK outfits, the ones with swastikas, and the ones with old flags representing nationalism. And I should also be able to call the rest of them out.

            I like this solution. It’s a pretty straightforward one.

              That’s the problem. There is no evidence of specific symbols at Trump rallies. The commenter above has conflated the people in this picture with all Trump voters.
