Well it’s not half the country but it only needs be 20-25% for it to be a problem, especially when a dominant media and the president are only to happy to fuel it.

Because part of the problem is the language, where we say “Republicans are..” or “ Democrats are..” when both have varied beliefs and levels of extremity in them but we paste the worst over the whole.

This will be hard for Trump to spin as a hoax.


9/11, the Holocaust, Apollo 11, vaccines, and even the fucking shape of the Earth itself all have very popular conspiracy theories about them even though overwhelming evidence exists to disprove them all.

There Is a difference between chanting at a rally. And mailing a bomb.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

When Hillary is mailed a bomb, and everyone knows about it, and your response is "Lock Her Up", what does that mean?

That's nice and patriotic. Unfortunately, patriotism is dead in America. There is only tribalism.

No. It's because we were raised on the ideas of virtue, liberty, justice. I feel at least 80% still have those views and hate tribalism. I have hope someone will solve this.

Well alas even that 15% are indulged and excused by another 15-20%, some people simply cannot accept even the slightest criticism of Trump even though he’s quite clearly a self serving, narcissistic deranged loon with a persecution complex.

These people exist on their own and are of such a state that they can get triggered by pretty much anything and everything. And they do so because they are insane. There is no way anyone can predict if his words or actions will trigger such a person because they are insane. So it's insane to blame the people that don't.

Just to give an example, anyone remember Charles Manson? You know, the insane cult leader who calmed he was god, had a swastika tattooed on his forehead and ordered the murder of a bunch of innocents including a pregnant women? He was triggered by a Beatles album. Yes, you heard it right. Charles Manson did what he did because he believed the Beatles told him to so that he could start a race war.

Bottom line is that madmen will be madmen. And we can't blame the people whose words and actions they insanely latch on to. Because that can happen to anyone including us. Right now, some lunatic could be reading this forum and decide that my words are prophetic and he needs to genocide all the firstborn babies in Zimbabwe or something. That's just how lunatics work.


As someone who got all... troubled in the mind... when Trump won the presidency, I'll say this: a lunatic is not a blank slate. He will act when something makes enough of an impression on him to bid him to act.

Let's not divorce Trump's rhetoric from this guy's actions, shan't we? That this man was crazy and willing enough to be violent can, in one sense, be a morbid hallmark of honesty.

He hardly needs to try..

“I bet $500 they are lying,” he said. “I bet it was a liberal who did it. Have you stopped to think why those bombs were only sent to high-level Democrats? They are trying to make it look like Donald Trump is encouraging terrorism.”

He added: “The truth is, the liberals are the terrorists.”

His wife agreed.

“It seems like a lot’s been planted to make it look like a Trump supporter did it,” said Carrie Pennington, 48.

When the underlying point goes overboard it's pretty muddy down there where those shark bubbles blow... and keep in mind Trump is scared of sharks and that's not wrong.

Maybe this bombing episode will scare him enough to finally fear the eternal sea (not the movie)?
