When you think of it, most rightists are like negroids. Trump lovers are
the worst excuse for white people I've ever seen. Trump will face a lot
of abuse from blacks when he goes to prison.

It's a cult like like the Branch Davidians and good Americans hope the
members will have the same ending, burning to death.
