It is, in rural areas though it's probably more important that good people actually run for local office. Just voting isn't enough.

The racist candidate especially and specifically for racists. And yet he can win. It's always about race in America.

What I'm wondering is, will there be another candidate like this, perhaps an independent candidate, in 2020? As others have noted it doesn't seem like this voter group is going to go away anytime soon and they are united in hate.
I would say it has gotten louder. Grown? I don't know about that.

protester in St. Louis today at noon was treated very gentle. Like most of his rallies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OESzvtaS7fA
In almost every rally he has, he has 10+ protestors... In total he's had hundreds of thousands of people there and there's a handful of incidents.. so there's hundreds of thousands of people who've behaved themselves fine, but yes.. it's for racists. You go to an NBA game with 20k people there's 10 fights a night.
Most racists do follow him though because they get excited about the wall/border for example. but for the wrong reasons.
Most people who want the wall it isn't because of racism. I know Latino's from Mexico who got here legally (took 8 years) and they want the wall.
There's no doubt though that racists are following him and it's definitely a bad mark. And another huge reason on why he probably has no chance against Hilary.

It's the same at NFL games, because of alcohol more often than not. Get the heck out of this thread with this racist dog whistle nonsense.

The mental gymnastics are astounding.
Although if your best argument for this is "racially charged physical altercations happening in rallies from a guy who encourages said violence doesn't happen THAT OFTEN, guys!", you know you're both on the wrong side of the argument, and history.
Do you agree with Trump when he says there should be consequences for exercising the right to protest? Or when he encourages the crowd at his rallies to hurt protesters, saying that one man should be "taken out on a stretcher"?
It's admirable that these racists aren't hitting every protester they see, but Trump is clearly encouraging violence.

Funny, I haven't seen article or stories about this much violence in the other candidates rallies

Perfect example of libgaf being so sensitive and finding racism where it doesn't exist.
I used NBA as an example because the 15-20k range is the same size rallies trump is having.. and the closest i could think of is NBA. NFL wouldn't be a fair example because that's 60k plus.
That's becasue I admit that I think racists follow Trump. but they're a huge minority. and secondly. no one else is pulling these huge amount of people. Not too much conflict at Marco Rubio's rally of 1,000 people.
Absolutely not. No protester should be attacked unless they're the ones attacking, then people should be able to defend themselves but that's it. The young kid who got sucker punched by that 78 year old was unacceptable and i'm happy the old guy ended up getting arrested. Trump has alot of explaining to do on those comments and needs to retract them. I doubt he will though and things like that are why he has no chance to win.
Trumpgaf gonna Trumpgaf I guess. When it comes to Trump, there can be no wrong.
Honestly, it would be refreshing if even one Trump supporter at one time said something negative against Trump just once. I mean there is a lot of material out there, shouldn't be too hard.
As a Bernie supporter, I have been harsh on Bernie at times. Especially about his message getting stale as of late.

Trump has encouraged that people "knock the crap out of" anyone who they think might be ready to throw a tomato, and so his dumbfuck supporters see that as "anyone who isn't white like me is here to protest."
Looks like you've chosen to ignore Trump coming to the defense of the protesters when they are recognized in the crowd when he actively tells the crowd to not hurt the protester. He plays the crowd afterwards though with the rhetoric you mentioned, and clearly nobody here agrees with that.

He's actively encouraging this type of behavior through words and silence.

While I get the gist of what you mean, you should use more tact when calling out posters for being too sensitive
Racists exist on both sides (dems and reps) however, one candidate is going out of his way to embolden them

This makes no sense. Are you saying people have more allegiance to their party than to humanity so they would blindy support a racist and man who insults women just because they are proud to be republican? A man who spits out hatred at every chance he gets. Shame on America then. Isn't this what happened with every dictator that rose to power?
Even if I had an allegiance to my party, I would just exercise my right not vote than to vote for Donald Trump. He is the closest thing to a dictator we have ever seen, using fear and prejudice to motivate his followers. Donald Trump is right America will never be the same for decades . . . if we elect him.
Anybody that votes for him even to represent their party is a racist as far as I'm concerned especially after yesterday when he insulted a quarter of the world's population.
That guy saying "brother" sounded so strange and forced. I feel like he was trying to recruit.

Sure you did, this isn't the first time I've seen someone use the NBA as a dog whistle to accuse minorities of being hypocritical and/or racist and it won't be the last time.
Set up a business selling alcohol at Trump rallies and then come back in here and make that comparison. I will humor you then.
I'm thankful that I only have one "friend" on Facebook who openly supports that prick, and unsurprisingly he's the kind of person who is utterly incapable of thinking for himself. He just shares typical, factually incorrect conservative bullshit without comment and rarely engages with anyone who calls him out on it.

Fair enough. I admit I need to do a better job calling anyone sensitive.
And I completely agree with your last sentence that racists exist on both sides, and that Trumps comments need to be retracted by him and admit that they're not acceptable, because it is emboldening the racists that do follow him.
I gave you factual evidence that makes sense on why I used the NBA as an example. If you want to keep implying that I'm being racist then go ahead. It's absolutely ridiculous to me.
I promise you there's no race that came to mind. I guess i could have used MLS or Hockey but i dont care about either sport. His crowd sizes literally made me think of basketball size games.
Rush Limbaugh and the right wing echo chamber are to blame.
Yeah, at this point any Trump supporter is at least supporting and promoting hate speech. At least.

Is that your argument, that there aren't thousands of Trump supporters getting violent? That they'll still applaud when minorities are assaulted or kicked out isn't a bit suspect?
Surely you agree that a lot of these assaults in Trump rallies are racist and supporters applauding black people getting assaulted and shouting racist epithets like "go home niggers" are racist? That even if you're a black person not protesting, you'll get kicked out just because of your skin colour, that's a bit racist?
slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/02/a_list_of_violent_incidents_at_donald_trump_rallies_and_events.html
You managed to find one video of a protester being kicked out without being assaulted, great job. Interesting choice of Youtube channel you decide to post a clip from. Has two kinds of videos, ones about Trump, and others about UKIP. Hmm.
I wonder why this "huge minority" of racists follow Trump everywhere he goes, and not any other candidates. Maybe because he supports white supremacists and KKK indirectly and likes to feign ignorance about disavowing them (cause he could get some opportunist racist votes out of it)?
New Yorker: Donald Trump and the KKK - A History
"Trump has a lot of explaining to do"
His explaining is he encourages these attacks. He condones them. He says they're very appropriate. He says the police are very restrained. He says he'll pay the legal fees for the Trump supporters being charged for assault. He'd love to get in on the action, too.
"trump's general election pivot starts today!" - people, yesterday
guess the pivot has been delayed another week in favor of more fascism and racism
Does the NBA, as an organization, encourage its patrons to retaliate against people not enjoying the game? Do NBA spokespeople remark about the good old days where unruly fans could be assaulted?
This metaphor kind of sucks, but you get my meaning.

Not everyone who supports Trump is overtly racist. That's a reasonable statement so as to not error in making a broad generalization here. However, some are, and Trump is tolerating/encouraging their actions instead of outright condemning them. One could say he's egging them on. So what does that say about Trump? The best thing you could say about him is he has no interest in stopping racism or protecting minorities. If that's who Trump is, then what does that say about the rest of the supporters of Trump who are not overtly racist? They support a leader who has no interest in stopping racism or protecting minorities. That's not exactly flattering.
Republicans may never jump on the more progressive ideas concering minorities: affirmative action, immigration, BLM. However, Trump is a step backwards. He will empower/protect racists. You can't support him and have clean hands in this just because you never punched a black man in the face - your supporting a leader who doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

A protester was injured at the St. Louis Trump rally, unclear how.
He wasn't one of the ones ejected from inside, he was protesting outside.

It's interesting that we have footage of people violently attacking protesters, but never any video of these protesters coming to rallies and starting fights, as claimed by Herr Trump.
Why do you suppose that is?

20% of his supporters oppose the the emancipation proclamation amd those are just the extreme racists
It's a lamestream media cover-up/conspiracy, obviously. How dare you question the future Fuhrer? I'll be reporting this to the secret police after he's elected.
Being from STL, honestly surprised people aren't throwing hands yet.
