Make the connections between Racism, Homophobia, Xenophobia, Misogyny, etc. There're reasons we encounter these things (often) in the same places, and just as often expressed by the same people.
A take-away for me: It must really suck for you to have been told your whole life that the world belongs to you and you get to take whatever you want from it, only to find out that you were lied to, that the world is not really that way, and you won't be getting every little thing after all.

BTW - to reiterate - what Trump is doing comes under the heading of Stochastic Terrorism.
It's the shitty little thing that despots are always pulling - the dog whistle calling to the Lone Wolf who'll interpret it to mean he should do something the Strong Man's id wants to make happen while maintaining the necessary deniability.
It's the lowest political dirty trick ever.
And Keith's absolutely right to recall Hillary doing basically the same thing - although I hafta give her props for backing it off right away, which means to me that she may have stumbled into it not recognizing at the moment that it'd be taken the wrong way. Point being, she fucked up; she owned the fuck up; she learned not to do it again.
And so to Trump - once can be an anomaly; twice could certainly be coincidence - but that second time, when it's Donald Trump, is just as likely to reveal a deliberate pattern.

I ❤️ Elizabeth Warren
But what we really need to do is de-regulate big business - to help the little guy make his $200,000,000 in stock options.

Extrapolated
All of the guns in USAmerica Inc are owned by 22% of the total Adult Population of USAmerica Inc.
78% of the Adult Population is being told what we can and can't do about guns and gun violence and gun-related problems by the other 22%.
Gettin' pretty fucking tired of this Minority Rule bullshit.
Trump's Guy
Sorry - but I had to. I feel a need to check in on these guys once in a while just to see for myself. So if I have to do it, then so do you. I really don't like going there alone.
It doesn't get better. It's been getting worse for quite a while. Even if it's mostly just an act for Alex Jones, some otherwise normal people are taking too much of this shit way too seriously.
And just to reiterate - this is Trump's guy. Trump has said as much. I have some Facebook pals, known to be Trump voters, who parrot the Alex Jones talking points almost verbatim when they try to engage with me. They don't generally get this het up about it, but the signs of Political Dementia are there in a pretty big way.

Gary Johnson Strikes Again
Another WTF moment on the air:
"...just grateful that nobody got hurt..."?
How does anyone justify even considering voting for a guy with that much empty space in his head?
