So... Trump voters?

I think they're analogous to people who would stand and watch a stoning, then congratulate themselves on not having thrown any rocks themselves.

I can do a spot-on impression of the standard deep, booming monster-truck rally advertising voice.

"This FRIDAY! (Friday... Friday...) Only at the Gigantodome! Beer Swiller Productions presents MONSTER TRUCK MAYHEM! You'll pay for the entire seat but you'll only need the EDGGGGGGGGE!"
