Yes, there are a lot of crazies that are voting for Trump. But to believe that it's 50% of American voters that are insane, anti-democracy, etc. is plain stupid, and like PepsiFree says, it gives the Democrats a free pass to have a half-assed platform and think they've earned the Presidency because they're not Trump.
The people saying these things are smart, which is what I don't get. You see it on social media and in person even where intelligent, thoughtful people will say things like, "if you're voting for Trump at this point, you're dumb/racist/fascist/etc.". It's fascinating to observe.
