I've seen plenty of politicians that I've disagreed with, that I've hated,
that I've had contempt for, but I've never seen one that has flat out
terrified me as much as Donald has.

 John K Clark

I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I suspect that what really
terrifies you is that he has such a large following, not so much the person
he is.  That's what's so upsetting to me.  Or maybe just plain disgusting.
