IT STARTED WITH A FENDER BENDER!!! then the 'Dims' in the other car went Ape Sh*t on the guy. beating the hell out of him and stealing his car. All the while making a video shouting their disdain for his right to vote for trump!!! This is what's inhearently wrong with you guys. You change fact to fit your own narritive. You want/need me to be arguing the idea that this man was hunted down and targeted because of a sticker.. Again NEVER Said that. I Said It started with an accident and escilated because he was a trump supporter and the beating according to the woman who recorded it was because of the mans suspected vote!!!

I presume they are protesting getting Trump despite Hillary winning the popular vote. 4th time in history, twice in less than 20 years. 5th time actually if you count the time there were 4 main candidates and nobody won a majority, so the House picked the President. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_S...tion,_1824 
Guys, guys. Yes, dems can be as jackass as repubs. The point is that Trump incited violence everywhre, regardless of political affiliation.
I think a lot more of it will be aimed at minorities (who may well have voted for Trump for all we know), but he said such violent things, all the time, that he made America in general more violent and angry. Go on, deny that you Ostriches.

Make America Hate again. That's not even Rhetoric.
Yeah, things will probably die down again for a while, but if he enacts some of the things he said he would regarding Muslims, Hispanics, and LGBT folks, do you think people aren't going to react?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Thanks for the smile, which you were successful in getting.  Yeah, so far it seems his Rhetoric was just that. He's all hot air. Of course, it still empowers the tiny little bigots, but hopefully they'll sit back down and shut back up if Trump can keep his stupid toned down for a while, and they realize nothing has really changed, the Nazis aren't actually taking over. Best case scenario, anyway.

As I said I believe it is an overreaction, but it is a reaction nonetheless and if the people want to protest, more power to 'em. This is America. A place where you get to voice your opinion even if no one is listening. My point exactly. Them protesting doesn't really matter, they're just Americans voicing their opinion. I have not heard a single reputable news agency refer to any of these gatherings as riots - not sure where you're getting that from. If I'm mistake please feel free to correct me. Besides that, I'm not really sure what the point is that you're trying to make. I don't think any of the protestors are 'trying to destroy what they can of this country.' Sounds like an overreaction on your part.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G.

The courts are still busy cleaning up the massive corruption to the detriment of the tax payers. And yet the same rightwing party is again leading the polls. These people don't ask questions. That's why I have such a high level of contempt for anyone voting rightwingers into office. They're like sheep and if there's one thing I really despise it's malicious ignorance. They just want to be presented with some group to focus their hate on. Everything else is secondary, even if it costs them money out of their own pockets. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)
