from a novel about WWII written by a Jewish man who went thru it.... so not an actual quote, but captures the sentiment he saw in his friends-
"Smashing windows is fine. Any act of violence is good. "Down with the Yids" is idiotic, agreed! But what does it matter? The point is to shake the country up a bit. Begin with the Jews if there's no other way. But finish higher up, with a general conflagration, with an all-consuming earthquake".
(quote from "For Two Thousand Years" by Mihail Sebastian)
I think that's what Trump voters are thinking. Smash it all! Maybe they don't have anything against hispanics and muslims, but it gets the fire going.
And they are paying NO ATTENTION to the potential consequences of their actions. None at all. Usually because hey - they are white; they have jobs; it won't affect them.
Scary and sad.
