I probably would. I'll actually be surprised of nobody does try, given the sheer frenzy of hatred that some of Trump's people have whipped themselves into.
yep. those damn fash trump supporters. beating up clinton supporters. comparing clinton to adolf hitler at every turn. both subtly and flat-out calling for a "patriot" to assassinate clinton. man, these violent trump supporters.

ohwait.

Spoiler: Ummm (click to show/hide)

By the way, I did four more google searches:
hillary hitler: 10.8 million results
clinton hitler: 14.4 million results
donald hitler: 18.2 million results
trump hitler: 20.7 million results

With associated images showing up in the results.

I'm actually slightly puzzled as to how you could end up supporting Trump but not be aware of people calling Hillary Hitlery, etc, etc.

Great, now I can't call someone hitlery anymore without it seeming like I'm being a misogynist.

Oh hell no, though ironically pewdiepie does have more subscribers than there are people who don't think trump is a bum.
trumps unfavourable rating is 70%, if you take into account the 127 million voters of last election then possibly only 38 million of those don't disapprove of him.
Contrast with 46 million PDP subscribers.

Of course, plenty of those subscribers aren't able to vote in a US election on account of not being citizens or being too young and probably not all of them would vote for him. :P

2012 also had 132 million votes cast for American Idol. Higher than the presidential election total. Granted, you can vote under 18 and potentially multiple times for Idol as well.

Still shows that people likely care more about their favorite musician than who is running the country.

Actually it was 129 million out of potentially 235 million voters so 55%.
Apathy has been at around 50% since 1900.

You just provided compelling evidence against your own conclusion...?

... have a link to a transcript? I'm not even sure which one you're talking about.

Also, hell. I think I forgot. Wasn't trump supposed to put out an economic policy before the end of last month? Something along those lines? Did that ever happen?
