Ezra Klein has an excellent video on the essence of Donald Trump’s message, and why it’s frightening. If this has already been posted here, I’ll take this diary down, but I searched and couldn’t find it.
x YouTube VideoIt is chilling that Trump actually laments the fact that “nobody wants to hurt anyone any more,” and that his supporters cheer this statement.
I’m a Bernie Sanders supporter, and I’ve got plenty of problems with Hillary Clinton, but barring a miracle comeback by Bernie, Hillary will be the only thing standing between Donald Trump and the Presidency. Any “progressive” who would rather sit on their hands and stay home, or vote third party, than to support the Hillary against Donald Trump, deserves Donald Trump. The problem is that those of us who are sane DON’T deserve him. If Hillary wins, progressives will live to campaign in other elections. If a guy who celebrates violence against his opponents wins, I’m not so sure that will happen.
