This is amazing. And amazingly bad. Of course there are people who want to disrupt stuff. Of course there are copy cays. But no one can say Trump is not to blame.
And one of the few things happening this campaign so far that are not in favour of Trump.

Yes, the mans policies are idiotic but i still think he does want a fairer society, helping the poor out of poverty.This puts him opposite the establishment dems who prefer a permanently poor underclass.
Detroit has voted democrat for over 50 years straight.What have the democrats actually done for Detroit the past 50 years? NAFTA? Hah! The people in Detroit just keep getting poorer yet still think the democrats will help them, it's truly sad.
Well it's not the democrats fault. Left-wing policies, which are government programs, usually simply don't work.
Who actually cares about them stepping on the flag? I understand that some people will inevitably find anything offensive, and I understand that this is a bad way of attempting to get sympathy from the american public, but I don't understand how anyone can rationally be offended by this?

That is what you get when the entire history of the country has completely fucked a community over. Why should they hold the US flag sacred.
Chicago has voted democratic for 90 years straight.If the community is still fucked now why blame the republicans.
Dems = Welfare state parasitism, no free speech.
Can we move past the parasitism thing? There will always be people who try to game the system and be lazy but those people are a tiny percentage.
Most people will try to move themselves up to get to that "american dream" state that has been sold to us for like a 100 years. Problem has always been that the starting conditions for each person vary greatly and you end up with a skewed distribution of wealth.
