The protests and boycotts coming on Friday offer a serious opportunity for conservatives

I’ve been watching the press gleefully covering all of the plans for massive protests and disruptions which are scheduled to take place during Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday with a growing sense of annoyance. Adding fuel to the fire was the unified front being presented by Hollywood and the music industry in their outright rejection of the election results and endless snubs and insults. Yesterday it got to the point where the audience would not only miss out on seeing Bruce Springsteen perform for the next president, but a Springsteen tribute band even cancelled their appearance at a New Jersey inaugural event. (WaPo)

The more they protest, the more support and sympathy Trump will get. Any violence will destroy the left for a long time to come.

The media hyped the “massive demonstrations” and “disruption” that was going to take place in Cleveland. That didn’t materialize, despite the dems and Soros spending millions on the effort. Something tells me that Friday will be fairly peaceful, with some outbreaks of chanting, yelling, screaming and other forms of tantrums, but no major disruptions.

Wow, now that is a shame. To not have a chance to
hear an ageing musician sing through his nose.

It needs to be said over and over that the same political movement that has for decades told us that violence solves nothing has turned to violence in an attempt to undo a political defeat.

It won’t solve anything.

What this will further highlight is the difference in behavior between the civilized (conservative republicans) versus the uncivilized organized crime elements (liberal demorats). The demrats will see this as an opportunity to steal, riot and destroy the property of the civilized.

Protests during the spring were backfiring and giving sympathy to Trump, so I think the protesters were mostly told to stand down during the summer.

But now they think they have nothing to lose, so they might be crazy enough to actually try to do what they've been promising: shut down the inauguration, in the hope that the media will spin it and blame it all on Trump.

Nothing to lose? There are elections in a bit over 21 months, and they can strengthen Trump’s hand even more...

I will be overjoyed if hundreds of thousands, of low life Democrat, John Lewis, scum & vermin, turn out to protest the Trump POTUS victory and swear-in. Alas...I was severely saddened when the “Al Sharpton - 25,000 Marchers” turned out to be only 500-1000 of Sharpton malcontents, last Saturday!!! And that failure, was followed throughout the MLK weekend, by protests that were a terrible bust.....for there was literally no protests of any real magnitude at all!!! To me, that past weekend bodes ill for the big bang protests coming later this week....but, we shall see!!!

Ya know folks, MLK was one of the greatest Americans ever born...and it breaks my heart, that “Sharpton & Lewis” scum & vermin” attempted to steal from the greatness of MLK, and the day of honor & celebration for this major key, beloved, figure in American history!!!

My glee is the self-inflicted fatal wounds that the Democrat Party is inficting on itself. I can assure all Americans, the Mid-Term elections of 2018 will not be a good experience for the entire Democrat Party!!! If you Democrat folks think that we, the people are going to sit still and do nothing while you pull your usual hate & racist acts...you are either smoking reefer, or, totally insane!!! Following a buffoon like John Lewis, is not the way someone with brains, travels through life!!!

We are coming after you, Democrats, your illegal voters, your failed policies and your association with truly failed POTUS, Obama & your “Criminal”, POTUS, candidate, Hillary Clinton!!! Gst wise Democrat Party...or, you are going down to political obscurity, where, you all rightfully belong!!! Nothing is as dead and fogotten, as a man or idea whose time has passed!!! Ya all......are not good students of history,,,,sadly!!! LMAO!!!

Are you happy up there?
