The rise of Donald Trump has exposed the frightening underbelly of America’s foulest tendencies. Our racism, nativism, xenophobia, misogyny, Islamophobia, ableism, and propensity toward authoritarianism have been laid bare. Reactions from those who stand opposed to these manifestations of oppression have varied from calm condemnation and routine peaceful protests, to blockades of roads and borderline riotous outbursts, including sporadic violence in various cities.
This isn’t a coincidence.
There are so many examples of Trump inciting violence the New York Times put together this video documenting some of them. A powerful video juxtaposing his longing for the violence against protestors from the “good ol’ days” with images from the Civil Rights Era recently went viral. There’s been an upswing in anti-Muslim hate crimes that correlates with his candidacy—including several offenders who cite him as their inspiration. Another of his supporters beat an unhoused Latino man. Yet another sucker punched a demonstrator at a rally and then, more alarmingly, went on to say, “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him.” Trump has not just flagrantly violated the typical boundaries of political discourse, his candidacy is linked to multiple instances of violence. It shouldn’t be a surprise that opposition to him has responded in kind. Yet, a lot of people seem shocked and appalled at this perfectly logical reaction. In the face of media, politicians, and GOP primary voters normalizing Trump as a presidential candidate—whatever your personal beliefs regarding violent resistance—there’s an inherent value in forestalling Trump’s normalization. Violent resistance accomplishes this. In spite of this, such resistance is apparently more offensive and unacceptable to societal norms and liberal sensibilities than the nastiness being resisted in the first place...

In the fullness of time, “probably”.
Taking the picture?
Looks like a room full of ISIS slave girls and washer women.
Mostly kids.
ESAD, Jesse Benn.
Snot-nosed ...
Thank you for thinking outside the Box.
That is the obvious answer and I missed it completely.
I’ve read that Black Women are better Photographers than White Women.
I wonder, do you think she volunteered or was she selected by the group to take the Photo?
I’ll be up all night pondering it.
LOL
The Trump supporters should fight back.
Not there.
Looks like three Asian or Hispanic, left side in the back.
.
They haven’t seen true violence......yet.
At some point in time the anarchists must be confronted. If not now, when?
Is that fair?
Don’t fool yourself about them hating guns. They hate for you to have guns is what they mean.
I just posted the second comment after the article:
“The Left is sowing the wind with their Nazi SA Brownshirt tactics, (the Leftist mayor and La Raza police chief holding back the police, while their Mexican-flag waving goon squads were let loose on the Trump supporters, right out of Hitler’s playbook), and they will reap the whirlwind.”
Please give it a “like” to put it on the top. It will give the Leftards apoplexy.
Exactly. They will love guns in the hands of progressive concentration camp guards and executioners.
They’ve already removed it.
When they let the Genie out of the bottle, it won’t be put back in easy. They need to think this one out really, really, really long. I believe that as soft as we have become that we are far more mentally and physically tougher than they are. Plus we have years, if not decades of pent up anger and frustration from their abuse that will be unleashed on them. When it starts it will be no quarter given and no quarter asked. They can forget about their safe space, their stress cards, and their time outs. When they send the balloon up, these will not help them. In closing, they need to reconsider long and hard starting a civil war. They are not going to like how it will end.
They are about to let their mouths write a check that their ass can’t cash.
