Trump Is President, And Now The Left Justifies Political Violence
Daily Caller ^ | 1/23/17 | Scott Greer

Posted on 01/23/2017 1:53:37 PM PST by markomalley

Women around the world put on their pussy hats and marched around this weekend to tell Donald Trump to keep his tiny hands away from their genitalia.

The non-violent Women’s March drew in hundreds of thousands of participants in America alone and hyped as a major world-historical event by the press, in spite of its lack of a coherent message excpet for “we hate Trump.” Many saw it as a sign of the coming age of progressive activism that will ultimately bring down Trump.

However, other left-wing demonstrations may prove to be better indicators of what’s to come in Trump’s America than the pink hat ladies walking around with ridiculous signs. That’s the prospect of left-wing political violence becoming both common and morally justified in the United States.

During Trump’s inauguration Friday, anarchists ran wild in downtown D.C., smashing store front windows and setting trashcans and a limo on fire. These actions were roundly condemned by several liberals and most of the Left was in agreement that the destruction was not to be tolerated. But there was one violent act of the black bloc anarchists liberals were ecstatic over

Mr. Greer, you seem to forget the basic principal of leftism: "It's OK when we do it."

They tell themselves that Trump is Hitler, and you can’t talk them out of it.

I concur, violence is in the offing.

When the press secretary was asked about the protests I was surprised he did not say protests that destroy investments, business and private property are not and will be dealt with harshly

Whatmismfunny is when they announce warnings against doing something we’d never consider doing in a billion years.

Thats the most unnecessary warning I ever received. I wouldnt touch your giny if you paid me a million dollars, maam.

That’s a great way of turning America into the Weimarian nightmare the Left dreads to see again.

The author got the last line of the article slightly wrong. Correcting:

That’s a great way of turning America into the Weimarian nightmare the Left on the surface dreads to see again, but may be its underlying designs.

We need to have a “Not with a 10 foot pole” counter march.

"The basic principle of Leftism: It's OK when we do it"

I have, in general, been thinking that pajama boys and softball players would be no match for us in the war they so obviously crave.

Here's an alternative analysis which is quite sobering. Boiled down to its essence, it points out that the Deep State is playing for the other team, and if the other side can keep us bottled up in laws and courts, they have a good chance to prevail.

This is a war. Except, we won’t admit it. It’s like the war the black man has been waging on the white man since the 60s. We just won’t admit it and continue to get pummeled.

Yep this meme that Trump is Hitler gets old.

Over the holidays I visited relatives. And one of their friends was talking about how Trump is Hitler.

She said how history repeats itself, and you can see how Trump is taking power just as Hitler and Nazis did.

I asked her, do you really think Trump is going to somehow outlaw other political parties, take political prisoners, pass laws such as those which banned Jews from citizenship in Germany? And I asked her what specific types of actions does she fear Trump taking along these lines??

And she said that I’m getting bogged down in details to ask her that, that I’m just not seeing the big picture of how dangerous Trump is.

Interesting window into the liberal mind. There’s this fear of Trump and parroting how Trump is Hitler, but an inability to say exactly how Trump is like Hitler.

Kind of like how these women are screaming for equality but can’t give a real example of how they are oppressed.

“... pajama boys and softball players would be no match for us in the war they so obviously crave...”

They only crave it because they are confident we (Conservatives) won’t respond in kind. We have demonstrated in both word and deed that we will sit by passively and clutch our pearls like a neutered husband who allows his bitter wife to make an ass of herself on an airplane and his rotten children to disrespect him in public.

Liberals are rabid, spoiled, irrational, intolerant, emotionally retarded and violent children that need a thorough spanking. At some point we will need to respond forcefully and violently. I don’t see any other way out of this mess. And what these violent little pricks fail to realize is that we have most of the guns, and after 50 years of tolerating their bitching, moaning and violence, we are close to granting their wish. And as far as LEOs are concerned, I doubt they are eager or enthused about protecting these turds after the 8 years of abuse, insults and violence they have put with from the left.

Just my two cents.

>> They only crave it because they are confident we (Conservatives) won’t respond in kind.

This is exactly why Trump won. He is the first Republican candidate in my memory who was willing to fight back and who didn’t take crap from the left. He didn’t spend his campaign defending himself against the constant lies and attacks from the left, from Clinton, from the media. He hit back.

And he hit back HARD.

Conservatives could take a lesson from this on how to handle the lying scumbag media and the lying democrat candidates.

Leftists (sociopaths) are not capable of rational argument. The only thing they understand is power. Treating them as if they were rational and capable of honesty or reasoned arguments is always a mistake.
