I think you mean all of the remarks (that I could tolerate) are scary.
It’s disturbing that the US is so divided. The wheels are falling off the wagon.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

True. It's fascinatingly scary listening to their mental gymnastics of why they support Trump.
The scary part for me is not the Presidency. It's that these sorts of gymnastics are not isolated to their politics. It's that they actually believe that they are right. And if anyone opposes them is not worth considering. It's a total divide in even seeing another person's perspective as equalily valid.
Lefty American with some righty acquaintances. I’m able to crack their mental images of certain insane topics, like immigration, taxes, and birth control. But they’re immediately sucked back in when they go home and run on Facebook, OANN, Fox and similar online/media. It’s really frustrating, but I’m gonna keep pressing where I see soft spots. Social engineering for politics is possible, but it’s very steep uphill battle.
Someone that lets them be stupid, violent assholes.
He is to poor stupid people; their idea of what a smart rich person is like.
He hates the things they hate, and gives them permission to mock and hate. He tells them that they CAN say those things the left says you can’t say.
Hate
Thanks to Fox (Faux) News and Rupert Murdoch
