After watching footage of the deeply unsettling Donald Trump rally in Florida in which he made the crowd raise their right hands and swear to vote for him, the real question on our minds is: Who the hell is actually voting for Trump?
Well, the "Racists For Trump" ad that aired on the Jonah Hill-hosted episode of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend attempts to give a clearer picture. According to the sketch comedy show, they're racists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazis and book burners.
Let us remind you this skit is a parody ad from a humor program, and not an ad from the actual white supremacist groups who have been robo-calling in support of the candidate.
The fake campaign spot asks the question, "The media's been saying some pretty negative things about Donald Trump, but what are real Americans saying?"
Clean-cut supporters explain why they're voting for Trump, saying "the guy's a winner" and "he's authentic." But upon further inspection, the camera shows that each of the voters -- one wears a swastika and another irons a Ku Klux Klan hood -- are seriously scary.
Considering that real-life white supremacists have been lauding Trump's candidacy, this ad could make other supporters of the businessman reconsider the company they're keeping.
The sketch is brutal in all the right ways. But would it have packed more of a punch if Trump hadn't hosted "SNL" a few months ago?
Editor's note: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
