16. I don't think he was saying that people are afraid of terrorists

I think he was saying that people are afraid of what is to be in the future. Their futures and their kids futures and that they are angry in general and that anger should not be directed towards Muslims and immigrants.

I also think terrorism is one of the direct results of economic oppression and the violent acts that are committed is also out of fear and frustration about the future. So no, it should not be minimized. IMO it's what fear- out of control- results in.

Senator Sanders got to the root of it all and he was genuine about it. You can see that he's not just paying lip service. He said it so it all makes sense and is easy to understand and the more that message comes out- the more his support will grow.
