I will say, I have wondered what would happen if a large contingent of protestor were in the middle of one of his rallies. I can't picture them trying to move them all, let alone attempt to confront them. I like to think Trump would give up and leave.

You'd probably have a legit riot.

... but you're still supporting him.

It isn't getting better. He doesn't think it's wrong to do this. Actual attacks that have tangible, immediate consequences.

I understand that you support Trump for other reasons, but this is like supporting the KKK because you think they have some good ideas about corn subsidies.

Having bad ideas about corn subsidies won't result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands and destabilization of entire nations. As long as Trump keeps making the neocons lose their sleep, he has support from those who place foreign policy/Middle East at the top of their voting priorities.

I was rooting for Bernie as well but he's not gonna make it. I also think Trump has a brand name to look after and will pivot back to the center with the KKK/Nazism schtick that many believe he's fostering now, either after the nomination or Presidency.

The fact that you are supporting him before the supposed shift to the center, i.e. you are supporting him unconditionally means that you are actively supporting his hate speech. You are practically endorsing hate speech and that's the reality.

Being from STL, honestly surprised people aren't throwing hands yet.

No, there have definitely been hands thrown on this one + police takedowns. People have been posting vids on my FB feed all day.

I work in downtown STL pretty close to where the rally was, but one of my friend literally works right across the street from the Opera House and he had to wade through the crowds on his way to work. He got some nasty looks because... well...

I'm not supporting him unconditionally. And I guess you agree with every single policy of Hillary Clinton?

In each and every single instance where people have confronted him about this racially-charged fire in his rallies, he either completely deflects the question or encourages such behavior from his supporters.

This is what is called a "deal-breaker" for a lot of people.

As long as you don't put a condition (like "I will support him when he drops the hate speech") is unconditionally. You are actively supporting him now while his campaign is based on xenophobia and racism. Having some good policies in the package with that is not an excuse. This is not about agreeing some policies and being against others. That excuse works when all the policies are still within the common sense and respect the democratic values.

If either HIllary or Bernie were encouraging the level of violence Trump gives a wink and a smile to I wouldn't be able to support them, for sure. It's not a political issue. It's a human rights issue.

In an alternate reality this would be the title of an onion article...

Hitler comparisons are bad though.
