Some idiot in North Carolina firebombs the Hillsborough, NC Republicans' office:

Clinton offers sympathy, North Carolina Republicans acknowledge... And then Donald Trump tweets this:

Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP


Just Googling around, the Trump supporters are quite literally calling for blood. And local Repubs are calling it a hate crime. Seriously.

You idiots are literally running your platform on hate. You want to deport 11+ million people in a ridiculously short time frame, outright ban immigrants by religion, and reimplement stop-and-frisk. Your entire platform is to assign blame to whole demographics and systematically fuck them over. Your candidate has been outright promoting violence, voter intimidation, and the jailing and assassination of political opponents.

Firebombing an office is wrong, criminal, and fucked up, but how fucking dare you talk about hate crimes while your candidate parleys with Nazis. How fucking dare you talk about evil while your followers literally chant "Kill them all!" and "Hang her!" at rallies.

I feel like banging my head on something. Really fucking hard. People have utterly taken leave of their senses, I cannot fucking believe this country.

He insights anger - he gets it. I feel sorry for anyone in the line of that nastiness

Am I the only one whose first thought was of the Reichstag?
Yes, I have a life. It's quite different from yours.

Someone else might have thought of that, but I had to Wikipedia it after you mentioned it.

Brite and I discussed that this morning too! Of course, it is possible that it was a Trumpite who was upset with the GOP for not completely supporting Trump. :o

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night

And oh hey, the Democratic HQ in that area was attacked on the same night:

But I don't see that getting any news coverage at all.
