It is ironic how the party that is for diversity and giving a voice to all are the first to shout down, destroy private property and cause problems for people who are backing Trump.
We have the fire bombing of the Republican office in NC and cars being vandalized outside a Trump rally this weekend in Maine.
What gives these people the right to steal and damage Trump signs? We have seen videos of Trump supporters being hassled and beat up. Both sides have started trouble but it seems to be the Hillary supporters that cause the most problems.
Trump and Ailes already know [well maybe Trump knows - you can never tell with him] the election is a lost cause. So, instead of toning down Trump in order for him to seem reasonable and "presidential", and giving at least a chance of wining, they are ratcheting up the crazy - which is Trump's natural state - in order to promote their new network.
It is all Ailes knows how to do, and after Trump is massacred in the upcoming election he will not be able to sell his "Brand" to any sane people anymore so he will need a new occupation.
They are counting on the CD base and others who are just as lost in the modern world to go right (pun intended) into their network. (It will be so nice around here once they fringe has exited.)
Yes, the guys who gave you years of 24 hour BS broadcasts and caused you all to be as delusional as they are, are going to start a new network where they try to take you even more to the loony right. I look forward the Democratic wins in 2020 and 2024 and for the foreseeable future until the right gets a strangle hold on it's crazies.

As a student of history, it never ceases to amaze me how the rhetoric spewing forth from the Trump campaign and its supporters echoes so closely to that of the Nazi party. Trump was purported to be quite the fan of "My New Order" (a collection of Hitler's speeches and the analysis of the impact they had) and he is playing right out of the Hitler playbook by working to appeal to the lowest common denominator. His recent messianic statements are especially troubling.
I wonder how many Trump supporters realize that the war of "nationalism vs. globalism" that they scream in support of is the exact same fascist ideology that drove the Nazi cause. It has been proven in multiple studies that Hitler and the Nazi's genuinely believed their twisted beliefs to be fact, even when their beliefs contradicted themselves. Trump supporters fall right into the same pattern. Their chants of "Trump, Trump, Trump" might as well be a hearty "sieg heil" (hail my leader/hail victory)!
In case anyone wants to scream Godwin's law, there are parallels to several previous Americans as well including: Goldwater, George Wallace, Joseph McCarthy, Huey Long and Pat Buchanan. All of them were pseudo-fascists that followed a pattern of elevating emotional fear over rational thought in their rhetoric. They used vile language, propaganda, and fear to win favor with scared Americans (often at the expense of a minority group).
Trump is a demagogue and I am just incredibly thankful that there are enough sane people remaining to see that and ensure he doesn't win the election.
The bottom line. Any liberal will admit it. Without the media. Hillary would be down 15 points. The media did her job for her because she couldn't do it.
Considering that Trump's entire campaign strategy is to use the media in his favor.
If you're right, it only shows that Trump doesn't know what he is doing and deserves to lose.

The founders would be spinning in their graves if they knew idiot conservative primary voters nominated a tyrant and self-described fascist over the likes of a liberty-minded constitutionalist like Rand Paul.
Watch how the Liberals Riot in Streets when Trump Wins
I regret that I wouldn't be able to observe such an event.
But let me ask, if he did win, is the system still rigged? Or would you admit that it isn't. Can't have it both ways, chief.
