There's 318 million people in the US. If Clinton is somewhere in the 40-50% range in polls, then why aren't there 127-159 million people going to jail right now? Right, because you made a silly generalization. Most people voting for anyone - Trump, Hillary, or otherwise - are actually (*gasp*) decent people!
Silly? Maybe. Absolutely true? Yes. The deeply deluded can still be decent, well meaning individuals, but the fact of the matter is that we have Hillary supporters stealing yard signs, a GOP office firebombed in NC, Trump's Hollywood star completely destroyed, threats from BLM to riot everywhere if Trump is elected, and acts of actual assault by paid operatives and normies alike occurring against Trump supporters. Clearly, the neocon commies are losing their grip on reality.

You say that like it's exclusive to Clinton supporters, while completely ignoring acts of physical assault and verbal threats that have come from Trump supporters. The difference between Clinton and Trump is that Donald is encouraging it while Clinton is not.

All the same, though, I don't even think it's an issue of candidates. This election is just putting a spotlight on the worst of the population, and I'm frankly glad it is because we don't need that kind of negativity in America

I don't think it's really "Hillary supporters rampaging." It's more like "anti-Trumpers rampaging." I dunno man, we have some stupid people in this country. Like, BLM riots? Seriously? As if that movement hasn't been hijacked by political agendas enough. To level it out, there's a whole lotta idiots on Trump's side, too, and both sides have documented cases of assaulting the other.

Yuh, Anti-Trumpers are pretty scary folk, they'll attack me if I go outside with a MAGA hat on. I guess I should go and listen to them, and vote for Hillary. :)

When they were in California, burning the American flag, wiping their ass with the American flag, blocking off the road, smashing things, attacking Trump supporters, all the while waving the Mexican flag. I'm sure that scared all the Trump supporters into voting Hillary!

Ok lol

On a more serious note, ESPECIALLY everyone out there who is of Latino or African descent, Donald Trump has recently been encouraging his supporters to sign up and watch the elections, and some of the more wackjobs out of the bunch actually appear to be listening.
  • Make sure you know your rights, you DO NOT need to present IDs to anyone other than the person manning the voting booth.
  • If anyone attempts to bully you into voting for a candidate you do not support at the ballot area, that is illegal. Inform them of this and get make sure an official is on the scene if it gets worse.
  • You CANNOT vote online, only through the mail or at the actual event. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sway the election to their favor by preventing you from voting.

A fake ad saying Harambe endorsed Gary Johnson before his death
If it is fake than find an article on Snopes or Politifact giving it a false, mostly false, or fake rating.

I'm waiting...

The ACLU has good info on this for those interested

Also at this time in alot of places it is too late to apply to vote by mail.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The onus of proof falls on you.

I can link you to an audio recording of Rush Limbaugh (from politifact) asking why Harambe didn't evolve into a human.

Or you could mention that Gorillas generally do not endorse politicians.

Dawkings was so wrong, THIS is the greatest show on earth, shame the season ending so soon.
OTOH, we'll probably have some extra Trump episodes for a while...
