Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and the rise of violence in the political process
Blasting News ^ | March 12, 2016 | Mark R. Whittington

The blame game over the violent protests that cancelled a Donald Trump rally in Chicago continues. Some blame Trump himself because of his incendiary rhetoric. Some even blame President Obama, for his divisive political tactics and his record of failure both at home and abroad. Both theories have some evidence to support it, however as MSNBC reported, the organized nature of the protests point to what one might call a “vast left-wing conspiracy” to use Trump as a target for violent street theater.

Bernie needs to address his supporters and instruct them to tone down their violence.

If we aspire to become a third-world country, political violence is a top priority.

It’s really instructive that the left, the media, and most of Trump’s opponents, are essentially saying that those who disrupt Trump’s events, and those who riot, are just incapable of self-control, and that we should treat them like spoiled children, and just give into them.

I hope the international elitist chum realize that a third world country has a lot of kidnappings and houses need walls and extra costly security.

I saw on TV this morning, Bernie standing on a podium surrounded by a bunch of characters who looked like they escaped from a state prison. His message was that his supporters were "responding" to Trump. Donald has walked another political retard into admitting exactly what Donald says about them. It's way too easy.

You’re right!

Bernie admits they’re HIS supporters!

And, reaction or no, They are reacting violently.

“The Political Process”

The events that happened in Chicago were not “Political”. At least not in the way most of us view politics.

It was organized crime.

“Politics” is sitting in a campaign rally cheering your candidate. “Politics” is handing out campaign flyers for your candidate. “Politics” is putting up a sign for your candidate in your front yard.

Organized crime is threatening people with harm in order to get money.

What happened in Chicago was organized crime. Some were paid directly to act that way. Others expect to be paid indirectly (”free college”, welfare) for acting that way.

This wasn’t “politics”.

This was thuggery and organized crime.

Having to use high security measures makes the elitists feel that much more self-important. Their sense of superiority is pretty hard to maintain when the majority of people are middle-class and self-sufficient, which makes them not so different from the elitists.

It was hilarious to watch. Headline: Bernie admits the existence of the Bernie Sturmabteilung.
