I'm no Trump fan but watching the Proglodytes' blood run colder than Hillary confronted with a penis is always a delight.

Gallup poll: after Trump attacks Muslims, his support among Democrats INCREASES
This is frightening.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-anti-muslim-rhetoric-winning-220900448.html
A new Gallup poll shows that Trump’s image among all Americans has trended up, not down, after he touched off an international uproar with his comments Dec. 7 proposing to bar all Muslims other than U.S. citizens from entering the country.
SNIP
Among Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, support for Trump does appear to have taken a slight hit, which suggests that some within the party were troubled by his intemperate remarks. But Democrats actually appear slightly more positive about the GOP frontrunner.
Trump’s net favorability rating among Republicans and GOP-leaning independents edged down by seven percentage, according to Gallup. At the same time his net favorable rating rose by 10 points among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.
In the poll, Gallup interviewed 1,927 people Nov. 23 through Dec. 7 and 1,250 adults Dec. 8 through 16.
Yet, you idiots have tied yourselves to the "ZOMFG! IZLAMOPHOBIA!!!" narrative with bailing wire and industrial staples.
Go ahead. Show everyone that the last thing you consider is what the average American thinks is important.
Be sure to throw in a big call for amnesty and having ordinary people disarmed.

1. Some Democrats are bigots, too.
Yep. Don't even listen to them, just reflexively label them bigots.
They can't possibly be justified in thinking Islam is dangerous, it has to be an irrational hatred.

3. and the media critisizes Hillary for being to "harsh" to the Donald on his hate speech.
Did you not just read the exact same ****ing article?
People agree with Trump, not Hillary.

9. Well according to most of the so-called experts on this forum....
....Hillary has the election in the bag. And the GOP is falling apart.
So we have nothing to worry about!

13. I do not play those stupid games people play here
I know what Trump is activating... and I know exactly what he is doing. And to be honest, it should scare anybody with brain cells to rub.
Most political analysts in the US have not studied either Hitler's or Stalin's rise to power. [When was Stalin ever a populist? He was part of a political machine, you idiot - SGT SB] Early on, El Duce [ 
] came to mind by the way... and the mannerisms are quite mussolini like. These days, it is a nice combo of Adolph and my friend Franco. Given that apparently Trump at the very least studied Hitler's speeches...
the 4th grade linguistic prowess is also quite on purpose and hits how media produces material. It is quite honestly extremely effective.
As I said, people should start taking him quite seriously.

11. Probably a lot of the same people support Hillary
Some are bigots. I think a lot more are just war mongers.

14. Nah, think the divide is college education
and blue collar vs white collar.
It is the same reason college educated Republicans hate Trump's guts. His base is exactly the blue collar, scared, white voters who see the end of a world coming and quite frankly they are not happy; and yes, some are indeed bigots. (After all Trump has gotten the endorsement of the KKK and those fine folks at a site that cannot and should not be mentioned in polite company)

17. Doubtful, since many of the same people are NRA nuts. n/t
Do you ever get the feeling Proglodytes find this whole "representative government" thing to be a tedious personal inconvenience?

19. There are plenty of people who are not NRA nuts
but are still extremely hawkish. One is running for the Democratic nomination. Regime change! WAR WAR WAR!- As long as someone else does the grunt work.
I don't see a lot of liberals in the combat arms, you idiot ****.

15. Hillary will win, but Trump is mining a real anxiety over Islam
Yes, demagogues like Trump are potentially dangerous.
But so is the pretense that organizations like CAIR are poor, innocent victims of hate speech.
Grammatically relevant islamophobia, concern over Islam, is legitimate.

26. I heard an NPR report about some Sanders supporters who agreed with him.

28. What do you expect there are a lot of people who believe in the young earth myth
4% believe lizard people are running our government. A brain surgeon says grain was stored in pyramids. And when you tell 2Aers that 30,000 people die from gun violence they say nuh uh 20,000 of those people were suicides.
So, this is not even a little of a shock to me. I have seen my fair share of conservative democrats, neocons, and people who love the status quo.
If Hillary wins the election the percentage of people believing lizard people run the government will rise meteorically.

30. When the Left don't want to call Islam out for being regressive and violent, what do you expect?
There is some truth to the rightwing criticism that leftwingers treat Muslims with kid gloves.
If these people were Christian we'd have no trouble saying their treatment of women and religious fundamentalism wasn't acceptable in the modern world.
Principled atheists and anti-theists are in a difficult bind, when the Left seems to coddle Islam and the Right hates it for all the wrong reasons.
Lousy freeper troll! Go boycott a Christian restaurant...unless they don't want to cater a gay wedding, then demand they serve you!
