I've been voting since 1988, and I've never seen anything like this. The internet's been around for awhile now, so people have been able to air their voices online for about 20 years.
Nothing like this. I've never seen a significant political movement in the U.S. that was so goddamn spiteful and based on revenge for perceived wrongs. I've seen it on Facebook and a large community that I had to leave because the discourse became so vile and frankly, lower than whale shit due to Trumpsters. The good of the country ain't what's on their minds. They want to get back at racial minorities and every white person that voted for Obama. They can never articulate in any meaningful fashion just what they want revenge for though. And if they're a minority, they're an incredibly vocal, crude, stupid one that Trump doesn't seem interested in reigning in.
I've never been afraid of the government. I've been angry, disappointed, and disgusted, but never afraid. Now I'm afraid.
