The angry chubby man who hasn't found a group he can't insult, has successfully united the venom Republicans have stoked for decades.
A disgraceful reminder of the Dumbing Down of America and the GOP's perpetuation of IGNORANCE.
Donald Trump, first generation American, has inspired and inflamed HATE and INTOLERANCE among the poorly educated with tragic consequences. .

THE CULT OF IGNORANCE IN THE UNITED STATES: ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM AND THE "DUMBING DOWN" OF AMERICA
These words are striking in these times:FIRST THEY CAME - PASTOR MARTIN NIEMOLLER
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
