    They are full of hate, and just want him to hurt the people they hate

    They will happily be hurt too, just so long as they think that Trump is hurting their perceived foes even worse

    It’s disgusting, and so very American

      Definitely not exclusive to the US but still a significant and shameful part of our history. LBJ said it best. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored [brown, gay, trans, etc.] man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
