btw asking people to choose between "legalise torture" and "take out their families" doesn't leave much room for the other 99.999% of ethical possibility
A Twitter group is frightening? For all we know, it could be a few pre-teens wanting to stir shit up. There are very few things on the Internet that are frightening. The rest are just idle threats...
Much of the answer can be found in academic research into political behavior that political scientists refer to as authoritarianism. According to this theory, authoritarians are a group of voters who prize order and conformity, and feel deeply threatened by social change, influxes of outsiders, and hierarchies being upended. When threatened, authoritarians support strongman leaders who promise drastic, decisive action to cast out outsiders and restore order.
This theory goes a long way to explaining what's happening at these rallies: The protesters whom Trump is encouraging his supporters to attack are walking, talking manifestations of the kinds of social change that Trump supporters fear. Fomenting and supporting violence against the protesters is a way for Trump to show authoritarian voters that he can be the kind of leader they crave.
It's an overly-simplistic view of the state of affairs, but the article a window into the mind of Trump supporters.
