I’ve reached a breaking point with those who continue to defend Donald Trump’s endless brutishness.
If you went back in time a year, and asked Trump supporters if they would ever vote for a man who made fun of POWs, mocked the physically handicapped, compared another candidate to a child molester, and shifted positions as frequently as a fat guy in a church pew, they would have likely said “No.”
How did we get here? How did we get to a place where Trump’s rhetoric and behavior is not only accepted, but emulated?
Donald Trump is a master manipulator. He came on the scene as a single issue candidate, with no other discernible positions. This was a necessity, because it allowed voters to fill in the rest with their own magic markers; the needs and ideas of millions of voters built Donald Trump from scratch. That’s why attributing any coherent policy position to the man is like trying to nail jello to a wall. His deliberately ambiguous and transitory rhetoric acts as a sort of scaffolding upon which anything can be built. This is a dangerous thing when you have an incredibly angry electorate.
When you pour yourself into an empty vessel, that vessel becomes personally linked to you. It harbors your needs, wants, and ideals in a way that nothing else can. Ultimately, what people see in Trump is their own reflection. When you see yourself in such a candidate, you’re much more likely to justify, defend, and even emulate their behavior–no matter how deplorable.
Given this, it comes as no surprise that we’re beginning to see violence at Trump rallies. Donald himself has made numerous comments passively or directly condoning violence against those who defy him.

“No, the left is assembling their thugs. None of the Chicago thugs were Trump people.”
And traitorous scum like Cruz sided with the fascist thugs
This article says what I’ve been thinking and trying to say for a long time and says it beautifully.
He is exactly right about Trump and the Trump effect on his followers.
The more they defend him, the more they become him.
No wonder there’s so much punching people out at his rallies, which, by the way, he described as beautiful.
Ah, more SLIME from a Teddy backing “True Conservative” site.
“Do you remember when Trump said, “I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” and “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun?” Neither do I.”
Obama said this, multiple times.
Does he think the Founders played nice with the British until they gave up?
I can’t believe a woman who was upstairs while her hubby was downstairs in his office getting a BJ from a girl his daughter’s age has the nerve to be running for president.
For one thing, the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it’s almost impossible to predict what constitutes “disorderly or disruptive conduct” or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”
There is another interesting Code/law that applies the conspiracy/violation of peaceful assembly and free speech.
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; .... They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696; Pub. L. 90–284, title I, § 103(a), Apr. 11, 1968, 82 Stat. 75; Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, § 7018(a), (b)(1), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4396; Pub. L. 103–322, title VI, § 60006(a), title XXXII, §§ 320103(a), 320201(a), title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1970, 2109, 2113, 2147; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, §§ 604(b)(14)(A), 607(a), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3507, 3511.)
Really?
Maybe he is a magnificent tactical planner.
“Why, because angry-mommy-talk automatically means you’re right?
I’ve reached a breaking point with little faggots who squeal every time Trump refuses to be politically correct.
Get the hell out. “
Hear hear, sir.

I don't know how many times I've posted this:
All I want is for Trump to destroy the Media Death Star.
He's been doing a GREAT job of exactly that.
Just this weekend, Trump and his team decapitated two (2) lying POS from Breitbart. More resigned.
The clock is ticking on the two (2) Washington Posties caught out under the Lewandowski spotlight.
Trump may have even attached a limpet mine to the hull of the FOX battlecruiser sMegma Shilly, news poledancer, in this imbroglio.
I like him because he let’s it all out in public.
I’m sure many politicians have done many illegal or unethical things behind their political, PC smirks.
Hypocrites all !!!!!
I wish I could tell you what I think of you, but I’d get banned...
Put it this way. Where is the Ferguson, MO, or Baltimore, MD, resulting from pro-Trump protests?
I wonder if Knowles would like to amend/retract this piece he wrote just last December?

The GOP Will Lose the Election to Spite Ted Cruz
...........
Or did he simply acknowledge that which Cruz supporters seem to ignore these days.
“If Ted Cruz wins the primary, the GOP will do everything they can to get Hillary elected. They will sooner poison the nation before poisoning themselves.”
Thugs came from India, fervent religious zealots who strangled enemies.
The origins of the mafia is of course Roman Fascism. Seeing them used in the same sentence is confusing.
I’ve noted that Trump gave a short and brief raised fist salute yesterday and Sarah Palin gave one today.
The raised fist has different interpretations. Mainly communist or hard core socialist (American communism).
But in it’s original form the raised fist symbolizes the power of defiance from the people.
Overwrought inanity. Maybe time you turn in your man card, Mr. Knowles.
I bet the Cruz backers won't even notice that.
Yes, once again the democrats accuse the republicans of the very behavior the left is guilty of perpetrating and the right is innocent of committing. SOP...
