Trump insults his supporters once again.

[Garrett78]

First there was the comment about not losing a voter even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street. His supporters must be just beaming with pride about that.

And now this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-violent_us_5854c489e4b08debb7896896. Of course, some I suppose will take what he's saying as a compliment.

Excerpt:

“You people were vicious, violent, screaming, ‘Where’s the wall? We want the wall!’ Screaming, ‘Prison! Prison! Lock her up!’ I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?” said Trump, speaking from an outdoor stage at the Florida fairgrounds.

“But now, you’re mellow and you’re cool and you’re not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right? Now you’re sort of laying back ... you’re basking in the glory of victory.”

It's a cult. Trump has created a cult. And the mainstream media continues to normalize it.

1. All must genuflect in the presence of his greatness n/t

2. Trump's way of thanking his minions.

They don't know the difference.

3. They took it is praise, because they're proud of being deplorable

Donald Trump is a vile demagogue with a cult following.

This creature must never be normalized.

4. I read yesterday that Trump has publicly admitted to not being serious about draining the swamp.

So, Trump calls his supporters mean and violent. He says he wasn't actually serious about draining the swamp, as if that comes as a surprise. And very early on he said he wouldn't lose a voter if he shot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight.

It is positively mind-blowing. As you say, he has a cult following.

5. That's generally how totalitarian regimes start. n/t
