I didn't. I was referencing your deletion of the text preceding my elitist question. I'm trying to figure out how you edited something that wasn't yet there.

Please reread posts 34-36 and back away from that edge. If you haven't already, check out post 39 too.

I reject your characterization that this encourages folks to commit acts of violence.

As far as "inflammatory and insulting rhetoric directed primarily toward Latinos and Muslims", I've addressed this already in another post. It certainly wasn't PC, but you're in drama queen territory with your characterization.
That is a patently absurd statement, as it your contention that "Non-PC" rhetoric of the type Trump uses is benign.

Oh, and while you're getting yourself all faux indignant about "acts of violence" that haven't happened, maybe you could trouble yourself to decry actual acts of violence that have happened:

Three times now you've posted that. It must do a lot to make you feel above the fray.

And I was asking Pio. So we're both awaiting clarification.

No one is talking about that, except for you. Breaking the system means reforming the system that the parties - which are private organizations on govermantal bodies or agencies - have built.
Now that you've refined and defined, fair 'nuff.
Still, regardless of what his backers want to believe, I'm seeing a lot of fantastic projection onto a narcissistic bullshit artist.

Three times I've posted - glad you can count to three by the way - and not one critical comment from anyone. In the meantime, in the aftermath of this violent outburst by the anti-Trump crowd, folks like you are still belly-aching about the alleged "violence" connected to the Trump campaign. Go figure.
