If you questioned what the people wringing their hands in apprehension and dismay thought would happen when Trump took office;

If you wondered what immigrants, Muslims, and all of non-white America imagines when they read about the cocksure, white โ€œsilent majorityโ€ Trumpโ€™s presidency has emboldened, look no further. Click on the video below.

This is Harry Tropoloc of Irving, Texas (Of course heโ€™s in Texas. Where the hell did you think heโ€™d be from other than the state where they elected George Bush and Rick Perry as their leader, think they need a border wall to stop people coming over to visit their stolen land and continue to vote for Ted Cruz).

Harry was at WalMart one day and when he discovered he couldnโ€™t see out of the glasses he purchased, Harry asked to see a white employee. According to the Dallas Morning News, when he had to talk to Adelaโ€”a U.S. citizen of over 20 years from El Salvadorโ€”he decided to go on a racist rant.

Because...white people.

Because...Texas.

Because Trumpโ€™s ascendence has so energized the small population of โ€œreal Americansโ€ who were quietly seething about the oxymoronic immigrants minorities who are too lazy to work, but also take all the jobs. They eat too much. They work too hard. They act so... American.

Pointing at an African-American woman in a wheelchair he asked โ€œWho do you think pays her hospital bill?โ€

Tropoloc went on to say โ€œAll of these foreigners are living off of us good, working white people, โ€ adding, โ€œYโ€™all should go to your own countries and fix up your own countries!โ€

This is the nightmare that people worried about when they first heard their future President introduce his campaign by painting Mexicans as rapists. If the leader of the free world can talk to the entire nation like that in his presidential address, then why canโ€™t a Texan who installs gutters do the same to a WalMart employee? This is what people mean when they talk about โ€œnormalizingโ€ Trump. This is why people feel comfortable telling others to โ€œgo back toโ€ fill-in-the-blank. This is why there is an uptick in hate crimes.

This is America now.

Canโ€™t you feel it getting great again?
