a suburban detroit homeowner and trump supporter just took the republican party platform and proudly displayed it on his front lawn, creating a despicably terrifying display of democratic nominee hillary clinton sitting in a mock electric chair, screaming in agony as she is executed. 




the photo of the offensive display was taken by a reader in waterford township, a suburb northwest of detroit which is 89% populated by white residents. it<u+2019>s unknown if authorities have been alerted, but this display is the end result of months of extremist electioneering by the trump and republican party, who have been hell-bent on dehumanizing   




american politics never had a tradition of demanding the jailing of one<u+2019>s political opponent, nor to encouragement of supporters to engage in political violence, but that<u+2019>s today<u+2019>s republican party under donald trump. his campaign has broken america<u+2019>s political taboos with open calls for violence, even winding up under secret service investigation twice. trump himself drew an unprecedented public scolding from the secret service for saying that <u+201c> second amendment people <u+201d> should take matters into their own hands if/when he hillary beats him. 




trump<u+2019>s sycophantic surrogates chris christie and rudy giuliani completely debased the high titles of their former prosecutorial offices within the federal government by calling for hillary clinton to be <u+201c>locked up.<u+201d> sadly, that has become the only policy proposal of the republican party <u+2014> beyond trump<u+2019>s plans to kiss up to russia<u+2019>s dictator vladimir putin and mike pence<u+2019>s plan to manage women<u+2019>s health with scripture. 




now, trump<u+2019>s followers have internalized the calls for political violence, and here is is the result in suburban michigan: 




it doesn<u+2019>t get any more deplorable than this, folks.
a trump fan just put hillary in an electric chair on his front lawn
