“We felt so strongly that Donald Trump and his bigotry and racism wasn’t welcome here.”

“...So we organized a mob of violent Fascists and suppressed political speech we don’t like.”

So. The Obama coalition of anti-American communists, misled minorities, and islamonazis ( notice how all of obama’s importing of hundreds of thousands of enemy Islamic soldiers into towns and colleges near you — is now becoming an effective Fifth Column inside our country to destabilize our elections )

Yup, they are all on the public gravy train......parasites, just like the government establishment.
All are afraid of Trump and losing their free ride through life.
Lazy assholes spouting manure.

“We felt so strongly that Donald Trump.......wasn’t welcome here.”

So you denied him his freedom of association and freedom of assembly?

My Casandra, what a little tyrant you are.
