neither code nor cryptic.

Springfield OH resident, NAACP chair, stated among other things, that that many Springfield residents believe trump's b.s. lies and threats, about occurrencs there.

I'll have to call her this weekend..

She is correct...baseline Springfield's just believe the tRump lies because they resented the Haitians all along... always picking on them... this is why their town was selected by Vance...enough tRumpers with attitude and no sense of logic...

That said...the strength of Springfield is with solid, liberal based folks...

It is my friend Denise.... she has passion and will speak up to help prevent if possible tRumps rally...

I'm getting a bit nervous now. I live in Dayton Ohio down the road so to speak.

She was articulate, and clearly emotional. Really got me, when she stated, near the end of the interview, that 'it wouldn't matter, many people just believe his b.s.' (My words.)

I have family in/around Dayton, thru marriage and apart from them now, so not in touch. Haven't mentioned politics to them.

then I get worried as well.... tRump just did a rally on Long Island NY I think and lied/ double the numbers of Springfield Haitians and twisted thing to where it sounds as if the Haitians were illegal...doubled the numbers...Vance doing it as well and actually worse than tRump...

There are folks in Springfield's that really support tRump but seem more older and just talk tough....not ready to riot....That said...tRumps Proud Boys, Nazi groups will show up from out of town/state and then....who knows what will happen. I fear Springfield's will be their ground zero ...like the Capitol.

I grew up on Long Island; keep waiting to hear about my town.

They throw around names and numbers as if it means nothing, but tmp knows what he says means a lot, people listen, and vance adopts trump's lying ways.

I sensed that there would be rebellion post election when tRump looses....mini Jan. 6th rebellion stuff that would be brief as these MAGAS are a cult.. that said, it was never felt to be close to home...now, I begin to sit on the edge of my chair...

I just can't yet envision what the target would be like the Capitol was for Jan.6th.... Maybe bombings and Haitian businesses????

The tRump rally, if it happens in Springfield will be a pivotal event/ trigger for future violence. That's my fear. Bikers in Dayton would enjoy such crap...

Some of us don't watch news-flavored reality tv opinion shows.

As it turns out, it seems I read DU for cryptic MSNBC recaps, people complaining about news-flavored reality tv opinion shows, and twitter reposts. Because all that shit gets posted a lot here.

and whether we like it or not, we should do as much as we can to help remedy and relieve the situation, not call names.

Just think Proud Boys, Neo Nazis, and now Donald Trump coming to town. What could go wrong?
