has anybody been to an alt-right website or other place to see how the Trumpies are dealing with the fact that their dear leader pronounced President Obama a born American?

(3,072 posts)I don't have the patients to go over to one of those sites right now but I bet they are saying things like "he never said Obama wasn't born in the U.S., he was just asking legitimate questions" or some bullshit.

(29,226 posts)Trump is a cult of personality.
His followers will say "He is just saying that about Obama now so he can win this election, he really is still with us and knows the truth that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim"

(4,522 posts)and its crickets. Not a word on what he said. They were all talking about how masterfully Trump played the MSM yesterday and speculating if our heads were going to explode over his "surge" in the polls.
I get the feeling they don't care if he wins or looses. Most of them have said in the past they don't vote because its rigged or some other BS reason, usually ending with their guns being taken away. What has them excited is the prospect of civil or race war, secession and the South rising again. <I need a drink>

(19,118 posts)Won't visit them, but both the main white supremacy websites, Breitbart and Stormfront, have to be going crazy this weekend after Trump's flip flop on Birtherism. Breitbart portrayed Obama as a gorilla yesterday.
