^ This is a spot on analysis.
The only thing I have to add is that the tangential way they go off on Indians and hypothetical scenarios seems random, but is probably part of one of the misinformation campaigns.
Not some evil-motivated, conspiracy laden plot to lie to the public, but stories created by attention-hungry publishers, who are so desperate to trigger outrage for just a moment to get some eyeballs, that they stretch and manipulate information to seem threatening.
This is what I think the election has shown: that if you make a person perceive they are threatened, isolate them by telling them other sources of information (other than your own) are biased against them, that you can get them to act in the most irrational ways.
