The President of the United States once again raises the specter of violence against his political opponents and the nation hardly bats an eye.
Quote:President Trump in a new interview suggested that his supporters are tougher than Democrats, and that if they actually play tough things could get "very bad."
"I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump - I have the tough people, but they don't play it tough - until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," Trump said.
"But the left plays it cuter and tougher. Like with all the nonsense that they do in Congress ... with all this invest[igations] - that's all they want to do is - you know, they do things that are nasty. Republicans never played this."
"Law enforcement, military, construction workers, Bikers for Trump ... They travel all over the country .... They've been great," Trump said at the time. "But these are tough people ... But they're peaceful people, and antifa and all - they'd better hope they stay that way."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
