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...

“Unhoused Latino man”
Is that code for an illegal alien vagrant?
This is not an election it’s a people’s insurrection...if they continue attacks It could become a revolution...since they hate guns and stuff it is like Trump bringing a flame thrower to a stick fight...but hey liberals by nature are dumber than rocks...so we shall see..
Liberals need to understand that we might like them better if we slept together.
But there’s something in their eyes that says never.
“Never say Never”
Jesse, better dial it back, because you’re not punching Trump, you’re punching people who will shoot back. This one is way, way too close to real violence, son, so dial it back now.
To me, killing union goons who try to shut down my business is logical, too. Sadly, logical and legal don’t always intersect. The logical response by benefactors of anti-Trump violence is to be prepared to defend themselves.
Or as Alinsky would have it, come back twice as hard.
Violence in response to ANY political speech is 100% unacceptable and should be condemned by every single person.
Every morning, I wake up and think of new ways to mangle Democrats
Hahahahahahahahaha!
I usually look to see if my favorite coffee cup is clean.
Sorry Democrats. I don’t even think about you.
“...ableism,”
That’s a new one.
Liberals do act in stupid ways. But don’t underestimate their cunning and purposeful deception. And don’t forget their misguided determination that derives its strength and staying power from the group.
The group that is under assault and needs to be protected in harsher and increasingly outrageous ways that reflect the inner chaos that overwhelms the liberal mind.
We also have the guns. :=) They should especially think that part through.
This guy’s basically advocating for another civil war.
You mean the girls who lacked dates every weekend all graduated together and took jobs at the same company?
Uh, where’s the Black Chick?
Bring out a camera, and the girls lean forward and smile.
Looks like it.
