You’ve said your piece, and I won’t attempt to change your mind. Your view welcomes anarchy, and I think your dangerous view is not shared by many on FR, and I hazard to say, generally.

Thank you for your reasoned response. Much more kind than the ones that call those who disagree with them “f...ing idiots”, traitors, and tools, among others. IMO my view does not welcome anarchy. It is that anarchy that we need to avoid. Trump has baited these people for months and now he is getting it back. They are like wild animals, you poke them hard enough and this is what you get. Mr Trump has bragged about what he would do if a BLM protester reached him (as have some one here who brag about the physical violence they will mete out). These people need to be arrested and prevented from trying to shut down free speech. BTW, I was accused of being against the first amendment because I thought Trump has incited some of it.

For those who are old enough to remember George Wallace you might recall how he would brag about what he would do with his car if any protesters laid down in front of him. I'm not saying that Trump is the same politically as Wallace, but there is some similarities in their attitude toward those who oppose them.

You simply can't brag about the violence you will do to people (Trump- “I have a concealed carry permit and know how to use it”) and not expect things like this to happen.

Anyway, Trump has won again. All everyone is talking about is him and his rally, right before the big primaries. And guess what? He went on his favorite network MSNBC and told Chris Matthews that this kind of violence gets him more votes. Go look at the video clip.

As for my view not being shared with many of FR, you are likely right. I have noticed that lots of reasoned voices on here are gone and gone elsewhere, or else just being dormant. I have had several email me agreeing with what I have said.

I will not participate in a third party. I think that would just give the election to Hillary, which will be a disaster. Guess I will hold my nose and vote for Trump, if it comes to that. But being a history buff I sort of feel like we are facing a similar choice as Germany in the early 1930’s. The choice was between the National Socialists and the Communists. I pray that Trump will be a great president like some of you think he will, but for now, I fear for my country!
