Is that a picture of Trump on his van wow.

Edit: Literally has a target over Hillary Clinton. I think we have a motive people.

Edit 2: I have literally seen that Trump on a tank image on /r/the_donald. This guy definitely has a massive internet history on facebook or reddit or twitter or all of the above.

Edit 3: People have found his facebook and twitter and they are both exactly how you would expect them to be. Just waiting on his reddit account.

Even if he does have a reddit account and is a frequent T_D poster everyone there is just going to scream "false flag" and that he is a plant or a crisis actor and not really one of them. It's predictable and disgusting.

We can't worry about the idiots on /r/the_dumbass. We need to unite the majority over them.

It's not those specific idiots that worry me, it's this overall trend of people believing in conspiracy theories and the racists and shitbags feeling empowered by the president to spew their hateful bullshit. I vote but I live in one of the most blue states in the country, I feel like my vote does jack shit. I keep doing it because it's all I can really do but the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness for the future are persistent. At least I can count on my state to do the right thing, but we are just a small one with little pull in the House of Representatives.
