Most Trump supporters I know are basically blue collar type white people. Its the white guy waking up at 6 am to go to his concrete laying or roofing job working for 12 hours then coming home and drinking beer only to do it all again until Friday. Saturday he'll go hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling, watch some football and clog up some arteries, etc.

Like this persona doesn't strike me as the type of person to do anything meaningful to threaten that existence. He's not going to quit his job and go to the capital of the state because he has a mortgage and probably paying alimony and child support to his ex if he doesn't already have a family at home.

Of course you have the crazies but tbh outside national headlines I personally have not seen anyone around me radical enough to do anything.


The people you describe are good people I think. If what you say is true, I doubt that they have time to be politically active and attend Trump rallies. The dangerous types are the fanatics who attend rallies, really show off their support for him, etc. Frankly, I find the whole concept of stickers, signs, etc. to be weird because elections shouldn't be about "teams." Obviously you choose a side in order to accomplish your goals but you should always be willing to "reset" each election so to speak.

i think you're right for some, but for the guys with a trump flag, 2 trump signs in their yard, 2 trump bumper stickers, and a banner painted on their garage? idk

the part that scares me is when i asked "what will they do" i dont have any clue.


Yeah, types like the "MAGA bomber":



No idea how many of this type are out there, and how they'd react to a Trump loss.

the biggest problem is the internet bringing them together. 10 angry dudes make a facebook group to share memes, then actually get legit unhinged, form a militia, and next thing u know they might be shooting people or just ordering in subway with an AR15 on their back.

Anyone that has that many stickers on their car should be avoided. If a guy like that cut me off I wouldn't do shit, probably switch lanes and drive the speed limit because you know if you retaliate good chance he follows you home and has at least a machete or a bat in his car.

IMO no mass shootings/bombing during the antifa-BLM riots is a good sign

I'm genuinely confused as to how there has been so little mass gun shootings this year.

People are more hyped up, angry, depressed, etc in general than I've ever witnessed.

Where did they all go?

Its a conspiracy theory they made to keep racism alive even though USA is the best place in the world to be black.

This is why people hate Democrats, she needed to go yesterday and she just lingering
