It doesn't seem to matter what he does or says. It's her they hate and those emails oh my God she should be in prison don't you know? Most of them are just mouthing what they hear on FOX

Yes, it's an extraordinarily ill informed bunch. I mean it's tragic. But this is what a couple of decades of news from B.S. mountain does to the electorate. It's fascinating that Roger Ailes, a brutal sadist, teaches a few generations of people to act on right wing hate opinion. This is Ailes most sadistic act of all. That's one f'd up dude.

It's even deeper than that. Many of these "crackers" are brought up in homes hearing n---r this and n---ger that J-w this and J-w that and now R_ghead" this and r-ghead that on and on. Hate is a daily diet for them , so by the time they get to Hate TV there already steep and stewed in a toxic broth of hate. Then to top it all off are their Churches where they are told from day 1 they are saved because they are Baptists or real Christians and everyone who doesn't believe as they do is damned and you don't have to treat them as equals or even as humans. Add it all up and you have a bunch ready for genocide. It was just such conditioning in Germany for decades and decades that sowed the ground for the Nazis so when they came to power it was easy to do what they did. Look at the rotten fruit that's been cooked up in the ME for another example. It's the toxic fruit of hatred day and night being realized now all over that region.

Yeah, it's also a matter of intelligence. Some people can go through that and still come out with a more critical objective mind when their on their own. I've seen it myself in my own childhood and in relatives. I grew up in a very right wing family. My own parents would never say n this n that, j this j that - but relatives did. This was right outside NYC too.
