They are trying to suppress open support by those who find him refreshing. They know what he is, and they can’t control him or his message.
So TRUE!
who is "they"? No one is suppressing anything. Trump is all over the news and is having no trouble getting his message out and is still leading the polls. People will see the good and bad and make up their own minds.
Nature’s red flag.

Yes. Nature has a deep wisdom we often miss.
Wall eyes and bared fangs...it’s almost Darwinian.
Indeed...or demonic, depending upon your epistemology.
Guilty. Of being a stupid, terrorist-loving, Commie fascist bitch.
“They” are the same people who equated opposition to Obama with racism; in my workplace whites who were 100% committed to voting against him couldn’t publicize that because of relations with black co-workers (because it would be perceived as racism). The TEA Party was marginalized by “them” because of their opposition to Obama, painted as backwards racists when their crime was a plea for reduced taxes (”Taxed Enough Already” = TEA) - and that stigma has remained.
People will make up their own minds to the extent that they are informed; to slow his momentum “they” are trying to prevent people from decking out their cars and front lawns with “Trump” signs. If people are undecided, it might make a difference; the strategy is to win the center while bolstering support for an unpopular Dem among her own party (the one that threw her under the bus for the Kenyan Pirate 7 years ago).
I have no idea what you are talking about. Trump does not seem to be having any problems getting heard and Trump is way ahead in the polls. I see no reason for Trump supporters to be whining right now.
If I can’t make it clear through those descriptions, then I don’t know how else to make my point. This policy won’t sway Trump’s dedicated supporters; it is designed to turn away other potential supporters down the road (by marginalizing him as an anti-Muslim, anti-Mexican bigot). Once that is the common perception of Donald Trump, it will be unacceptable for people to advocate publicly for him. The same thing that has now effectively silenced a preacher from supporting him basically does the same thing for anyone who doesn’t want to face repercussions at their workplace (and even their neighborhood, depending on its demographics). Timid, beaten down Anglos don’t want to be dragged to HR because their Muslim & Mexican co-workers view their “Make America Great Again” caps as racial or religious provocation. They also don’t want their homes vandalized because those two groups view their Trump signs as right-wing extremism. Expect to see other groups added as his “victims”: women, blacks, etc.
On another thread I pointed out that for Hillary to win she needs to carry the four groups targeted by the Obama campaign to use against Romney: The non-white malcontents/perpetually aggrieved, the welfare class, young people (by stoking their envy, due to their diminished opportunities while charging them for previous generations Social Security, government pensions, etc.), and women. Basically, Romney was marginalized because he was an old rich white guy; Hillary is all but the last.
In desperation, they are simply burying any public displays of support for Trump; does that make sense?
Trump only has himself to blame for that by the clumsy way in which he shoots off his mouth. Don't whine and blame it on others. Trump may be great on some things because he is honest and blunt but there are also political consequences to pay for such a style. You can't have it both ways.
I agree that Trump is to blame; he has to be very careful about the position in which he puts his supporters (and I said that earlier).
Right. Gotcha. I don’t see Trump changing. :-)
That article is a pretty blatant attempt to polarize Trump.
True account.
In 2012, a friend from 5th grade onward, deleted me because I called the Obama a “Marxist Muslim.”
She was the girl I slapped across the face in the 6th grade because she was a Jehovah’s Witness and as such, refused to salute our flag or recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
LOL, years from now, America will laugh, scorn and spit on his traitorous presidency.
Oh my, I wonder how many are going to delete my sorry a**?
