I find it cute that Trump supporters forgave or dismissed every horrible thing he said, but there's apparently a satirical ad campaign in LA (?) about any known Hollywood star who said they'd leave the US if Trump ran. 

It's not about the stupidity of hyperbolic rhetoric, here, or the suggestion that if you say things like that that somebody might call you out. It's that Trump can grab women by the pussy with impunity, I guess because he apparently really means and does what he says, but you can't mock but let go of the people who shot their mouths off.

To me this is worse hypocrisy and confirmation, yet again, of the nastiness that Trump and the GOP legitimized in this campaign. People always say stupid stuff, and people always call them out after. But even if I can't properly frame this, it is not the same. These people, in general, genuinely want anyone who does not agree with them out of "their" country. It's very reminiscent of Nazi Germany and their ideas of social or racial purity.

  1. Yes, either you take people at their word, or you feel they were talking hyperbolicly, but you can't pick and choose whose outrageous statements to believe.
