Schindler's List and the mind of Drumpf

[Doubting Thomas]

The way I see it is that Trump has dug a very deep hole for himself.  He made a lot of promises to bring about a neo-fascist state that his racist supporters are hoping to see, where Mexicans, Muslims, and perhaps even Jews are kicked out of the country, gay people are forced back into the closet, and build a huge freaking wall along our southern border.  So the way I see it is that he either ignores all those racist campaign promises (not like he can legally do all that anyway and the wall would ruin the economy) and face the wrath of the people who voted for him, or he tries to push through this agenda and faces the wrath of everyone else who doesn't want to see a fascist, pseudo-Nazi regime rule the country.

Of course, when he fails to bring back factory jobs he's not going to be real popular with his supporters anyway.

To be fair, I don't think he ever "made any promises" to kick all Mexicans, Muslims, and Jews out of the country. Neither did he say anything about gay people having to go back in the closet.

I think if we want Trump supporters to take us seriously we have to at least be honest and accurate.

He did make a promise to round up every illegal alien in the country and ship them back to Mexico, as well as ban all Muslims from entering the country, so it's not far off.  But I'm talking about what the average, racist Trump voter wanted to hear, like the guy at the Trump rally who asked him "When can we get rid of them (Muslims)?" and Trump didn't say he wasn't going to get rid of all Muslims, but said that he would have people looking into that.  My own crazy & conservative mother-in-law this past weekend was talking about how Trump is going to get rid of all the Muslims.  So while Trump may not have overtly promised to do such things, the dog-whistle racism he spewed made it sound like he was going to target minority groups, and with the raging homophobe Mike Pence as his veep and his promises to overturn gay marriage, it's obvious that things are going to be very rough for LGBT's over the next four years. He may not have actually promised to get rid of minority groups, but many of his supporters are expecting him to, if the recent outbreak of pro-Trump harassment of minorities is any indication.
