Donald Trump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.

His rallies offer a steady stream of such promises and threats — things like prosecuting political opponents and using the military against U.S. citizens. These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of American democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.

We have two words for American voters: Believe him.

    Absolutely everyone believes him. The people that say that he means something other than what he’s saying believe him but don’t want to be stuck with the image that they’re okay with it.

      Imagine having to even respond to that…

      “Yeah he means it and I’m voting for all that shit!”

      Or

      “He doesn’t mean that, he just lies to us to get our votes and I’m voting for him!”

      Either way you’re a fucking moron… Those dumb fucking people are going to set us back so much further than we already have been…

      That’s very not true. And it’s honestly scarier. I work about ten minutes from Trump’s first assassination attempt.

      My boss is a good Christian who didn’t know that fascism is a far right ideology.

      They’re in their own echo chamber, just like we are. They just don’t understand that their echo chamber leads to a Hitler 2.0.
