Yep, that is his base.
And what's YOUR base???
- men who use women's bathrooms
- illegal aliens who don't speak English
- Muslim refugees who chain migrated here
- brainwashed college grads with useless degrees now working at Starbucks demanding $15 an hour
- Prius driving, Starbucks drinking, loft living yuppies who are too good do to their own shopping or pick up their own food
- racist thugs and gangbangers from the hood

And you love working class illegals but look down on working class Americans?

It's better to fall dead on my face than to live in a guilded cage. I understand what they're trying to do and why. It seems to me we have taken the wrong course. We got a nose bleed and we're using a tourniquet on the neck to treat it.

When you bring guns. That's terrorism.

You have the full right to fall dead on your face. But unfortunately, the way this disease works, many others could fall dead on their faces too because you didn't take the proper precautions. And they may not have been as happy to do that as you seem to be.

Tosh. Ask the Whiskey Rebels.

George Washington felt so strongly on the subject of armed sedition that he personally led the rassum frassum army in the field against the insurrectionists.
