So, as we all know, politics in the United States right now are at their peak with all the Trump news and the Cruz news and the Hilary news and the Sanders news, and one thing stands out in this election: one candidate isn't like the other. That being said, we've probably all read or heard about how racist and sexist and generally just bigoted Trump is - and I'm not saying any of this is false, but there's a fine line between pointing something out and pointing it out vehemently while foaming at the mouth and screaming, "RACISM! RAAACISM! RAAAAAAAAAAACIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISM!!!!!111!!11111!!!1!!"
Those of us who frequent chat are probably familiar with the political ramblings ofKatsu a certain mod in regards to Trump and the Republican party in general. Those of us who sit on our asses with CNN on for background noise are probably aware of the antics Trump gets into. Now, those of us who pay attention to Ghost are now probably aware of #TheChalkening, where the #CapitalistArmy has taken justice into their own hands in order to spread the word of Trump though the time-honoured medium of schoolyard chalk. This of course led to a University of Tennessee (Knoxville) student to be persecuted by the anti-Trump student government.

One could say college students are notoriously liberal. It's not carved in stone, but most college students just want to piss off their pro-Republican parents by being Democrats, turning gay, sucking off black dudes, or saying that they want more Mexicans in America. This of course leads to many of these young liberals supporting candidates simply because they tout empty promises of unity and socialism and social justice and whatnot, which means Donald Trump is a major hamper. So, instead of accepting that some people would like this man for president like the average human adult would, they get angry - and anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to sperging, and sperging leads to accusing Trump of creating a dangerous environment at his rallies.
Of course this happened in Chicago, leading to a rally's cancellation:

And it's not just the hoi polloi accusing Trump of being evil; Louis CK, a particularly drab comedian in my opinion, urged people not to support trump because he is literally Hitler:

Perfect way to win an argument, really; argumentum ad Der Führer's Face - comparing someone's words or actions to Adolf Hitler. However, Trump hasn't done anything wrong yet; Hitler never did anything wrong, so the comparison is kind of moot. That being said, we have this massive orgy of young people getting off on hearing each other compare Trump to Hitler. Even the Boston Globe has thrown out a comparison:

And reddit has even gone so far as to say a Holocaust survivor was wrong for disagreeing with the Hitler comparisons:

Now let's get to a point. People who don't like a candidate typically will just say they don't agree with the candidate and move on. Trump protestors take it a step so far beyond it's like a case of rabies. It's so virulent in our politics nowadays that it's actually quite hilarious seeing people akin to AIDS Skrillex listing off reasons that Trump is actually Satan and how Islam is the religion of peace.
Tl;dr - Anti-Trump crowd is lulzy as shit and is the sole reason why Trump rallies are "dangerous", make fun of them here.
