HARRISBURG, Pa. The Huffington Post includes an editors note on all stories related to Donald Trump .

It says Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar , rampant xenophobe , racist , misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims 1.6 billion members of an entire religion from entering the U.S."

The key charges are all linked to stories that detail many examples.

Yet millions of Americans have voted for Trump, and many millions more intend to do the same.

Arent those people bothered by Trumps expressed opinions? Do they really want a racist, woman-shaming, xenophobic purveyor of political violence to be their commander in chief? Why do they like this guy?

Or are liberals (and three-quarters of women in the country) just wrong-headed, misguided and deceived by the media and their own lying eyes and ears?

HuffPost ventured out to a recent Trump rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to ask them, and the answers turned out to be more complicated, more illuminating and perhaps more disturbing than either Trump haters or his supporters themselves would likely admit.

Yes, the anger, hate and fear is all there. But its far from universal. In fact, Trump boosters expressed a broad variety of opinions about some of Trumps more eyebrow-raising comments, with some in the long line outside of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex explicitly denouncing some of the oddly complected magnates statements.

Any time you use the word all, thats a very wrong statement, said Zach Tidmore, of Annville, Pennsylvania, when asked about Trumps statements about Mexican immigrants and his desire to ban Muslims from the country. You cant use language like that. He should really change his wording around to a maybe small percentage, to put it in reality more than some of the stuff he has said. Some of the stuff he has said is very bad.

Many other Trump backers basically agreed with Trump, but also thought he should be a little more nuanced.
