Encouraging your well-armed nutjob supporters to go to the polls and 'monitor' them is kiiiind of on another level.

Trump isn't just a moron spouting off nonsense--he's the leader of a large radicalized army, an army which includes large swathes of the police and military. Americans are so complacent and used to stability that they think this is all a crazy TV show that can't affect them personally, but this is a very volatile situation that could quickly go in the wrong direction.



> he's the leader of a large radicalized army

Wat. He's the nominee for one of the two major political parties in America. Calling his supporters a "large radicalized army" is no better than calling half of them a "basket of deplorables." The entire reason Trump got the nomination is because people like you consistently marginalized the security and economic concerns of a large swath of people rather than bothering to constructively engage. Thinly veiled suggestions that Trump supporters are going to become violent on election day are just as retarded and unhelpful as suggestions that all muslims are secret terrorists.

WaPo headline: Trump urges supporters to monitor polling places in ‘certain areas’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10...



I didn't find a "well armed" anywhere in WaPo article. Honestly, I have no problem with monitoring election process (as well as any other government/public process). This things should be transparent.
