What does it say that when I heard about the fire bombing of a Trump campaign office in North Carolina the first thing that came to mind was "Is there nothing Trump will not do to win"?

Asked by rojo (24179points) October 17th, 2016

Is this just an indication of my personal bias or is this thought justified?

It means you (and so many others) have been so desensitized to the utter nonsense of this campaign that you have lost your ability to reason coherently.

The election is driving us nuts.

And Trumps first ramblings were to blame Hillary.

Right now Republicans seem more upset with Mr. Trump than Democrats do.

My first thought was that it was some hard-core Evangelical Republican thing.

It says to me you hate Trump, and think badly of his supporters. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s impossible a Trump sympathizer might do something like this to frame the democrats, but really, for sure there are crazies on both sides. You can’t honestly think that only Trump supporters are violent and unstable.

It smacked of a frame-up to me too.

Yeah, the fact that the majority are democrats in Orange County and 38 percent are unaffiliated liberal based and only 15 percent are Republican it stand to reason that the Dems have nothing to gain, but the Republicans do. You probably came to that conclusion because Trump is constantly looking to make everyone the enemy. Everything is fixed. The media is in Hillarys pocket. If I lose in a Democrat state that is ⅔rd Democrats, it is because the race is fixed and people are voting twice. Making his base feel like severe election corruption is going on is the only way to motivate his base to intimidate and motivate them to get out and vote. It falls more to his M.O. Oh lets not forget. Maybe someone can stop Hillary. He either hired them or it’s one of his cult followers that didn’t think this through.

It means the media has brainwashed you.

What it says is that you recognize that Trump encourages and attracts violent supporters. There is no comparison to the Democrats.

He said he would pay legal bills for people who assault protesters at his rallies. He said “2nd amendment people” should kill Clinton if she’s elected. His rallies feature a set piece where he leads the crowd in a 2 Minutes Hate against the media in attendance and now the press needs armed police escort to safely leave the building.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff, a Trump ally, is calling for mob violence.

We don’t know who set the fire yet, but if I had to bet money I would bet it was a Trump supporter.

Remember the “B” someone said was carved into their face during a mugging that turned out to not be true?

So I would not be shocked if the perpetual victim (Trump) had someone torch the place. And hey, now people aren’t talking as much about the groping.
