    I’ve always felt, right or wrong, that electing Obama was the flashpoint for how unmoderated the right has become; basically, we elected a black person to the highest position in America, and it caused the right to show their true colors. I genuinely feel that if we elected anyone else (that was white), things would be completely different right now.

    That said, now that we have another candidate of color, and a woman to boot, the right is experiencing the same emotions they felt when we elected Obama. And frankly, I hope it causes their heads to explode.

    (Personally, I’m a little on the fence about the switching of candidates so close to the election. I admit that I’ve never been one to embrace change easily. But the more I see these fools bitch and moan like they have been, the more confident I am becoming in the decision.)

      You’re not imagining it. During Obama, the nazis were literally marching the streets. Remember those tiki torch MFs?

      And coincidentally, white pride militia wannabes sprung up with that momentum and marched behind Trump.

      This isn’t subtle.
