Saturday Open Thread [6.4.16]

This week has been pivotal. First, the revelations of the Trump University Scam and Trump's defrauding of the veterans broke. Then Trump goes nuts on the press for revealing the truth in a preview of what press conferences under a fascist dictator will look like. Then Hillary's amazing speech on Thursday. Then Trump's insane racist attacks on the Judge in the Trump University case, which he has escalated throughout the week. And then last night he sees a single African American in a crowd at his rally, and in the middle of discussing black protestors who are thugs, says "Look at my African American over there. Look at him. Aren't you the greatest?" Everywhere I go, I see people on Facebook, Twitter, in real life, on cable TV, trying to find words or reasons for all this behavior, in particular the attacks on the Judge and the comments on "my African American." Look, it is all pretty simple, and people just need to accept it rather than rationalize their way out of saying what is really going on here. And that is this: Donald Trump is a narcissistic sociopath. He is a racist. He desires to be a fascist dictator that jails his opponents and cleanses the country of the minorities he hates. Seriously. It's not hyperbole this time. The Republicans have literally nominated the heir of Adolf Hitler. The sooner you all accept it, the better off you will all be, because everything will make sense.
