    • I hate Trump but that was just disrespectful..YearzOne
    • That's fucked up.Fax_Benson
    • that's not pre-planned by some wound-up nutcase. That's one person walking past another person he's dehumanised in his own mind to the extent thatFax_Benson
    • he can casually spit in his face. Like it's the right and acceptable thing to do.Fax_Benson
    • That's shitty behaviour.
      I saw a tourist with one of those hats the other day, looked just like him.
      Still find it funny that people wear them.

    • Think you're right Fax, it it a case of dehumanisation.PhanLo
    • This has been happening for years. Dems and media made a big mistake ignoring this for so long.IRNlun6
    • This ridiculous, confected left / right culture war will be the end of us. It's a race to the bottom.Fax_Benson
    • The bottom was reached some time ago.PhanLo
    • A trumpster might drive their car over them instead. That’s the bottom and yes we reached it.monospaced
    • you just dug another needless few inches.Fax_Benson
    • There's a context for all of this though. Trump has gleefully sent the entire debate into the gutter and is constantly setting new lows every day.yuekit
    • Trump is truly awful but there's no context for spitting in a random guy's faceFax_Benson
    • the mental processes that can begin to justify or disregard stuff like that are not good ones - irrespective of what Trump and co have done.Fax_Benson
    • Not saying this guy should be spit on of course. But it's slightly surreal hearing people cry about the lack of politeness in our culture while alsoyuekit
    • enthusiastically supporting a president who spends his time coming up with juvenile nicknames for people, asks women if they are on their period etc.yuekit
    • And has actually inspired multiple violent mass murderers or wannabe murderers.yuekit
    • So yea, the poor Trump supporters. I'm totally against any kind of rudeness or intimidation against anyone. At the same time, it would be nice if they showedyuekit
    • a tiny bit of self awareness.yuekit
    • My point is this guy didn't do or say anything obnoxious but still someone saw the hat and thought nothing of spitting on himFax_Benson
    • Not sure how you can really say there's no context? What I'm saying is that Trump specifically has poisoned the public debate to the point where people areyuekit
    • idiotically running around spitting on each other. I'm not blaming the old guy, but the leader he supports certainly deserves blame for it. It's a logicalyuekit
    • consequence that when the actual president is at rallies telling his supporters to beat people up, eventually you get something like this.yuekit
