Some NRA nut will probably shoot up the place now just like the Comet restaurant in DC after the Pizzagate bullshit.
Probably not.

... and vice versa.
If Trump were measured by the same yardstick as any other politician he'd have paid the price for any one of a dozen scandals he's managed to skate over.
Anything from openly mocking the disabled, a tape of him admitting sexual assault, Mexican immigrants are rapists and bad hombres, taking the piss out of dead soldiers' families - and that's just before the election let alone having your personal lawyer commit felonies to pay off a porn star a week before the election, having your presidential campaign manager go to jail for treasonous crimes, the KKK has plenty of good people too, having your "charity" investigated for being effectively a money laundering scheme and paying your personal debts, funneling state funds into your personal hotel resort, having the son in law get caught lying dozens of times on his security clearance applications...
Trump supporters complaining about double standards? Give me a fucking break.

It centres around the similarities between Trump's time and the 1930's vis a vis trade wars, the victimisation of minority, control of the press etc and their historical similarities.
