oh my Glob.. You right if I'd only known that it was a traffic altercation that had started all of this... That would have changed my views, and changed what the "lady" was screaming "that's what you get for voting for trump!"
Only if i just did my research oh, whoa as me!! I've been completely destroyed and can not bear the shame of being shown up for not...
Oh wait a tick... I did do the research and TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TRAIFFIC ACCIDENT YOU FING MORON!!! R_E_A_D Before you respond idiot!
Let me connect the dots for you... The fender bender happened, someone from the 'group' of people saw the sticker, mad about the fender bender, they MADE IT ABOUT TRUMP! How do I know.. The sound works on my lap top and I can hear what the people are saying as they gang up and beat up a 50 year old man you moron. Learn Think for yourself. Don't let someone talk you out of what you see and hear. Here's another tib bit.. Very seldom is anyone in the right, when they pull people out of their cars beat them and steal their cars.
Meaning THERE IS NOT A CONTEXT where that is the appropriate thing to do!
Listen, dipshit. You were attributing the attack to him being a supporter of Trump. You said it had partly to do with him having a Trump sticker, and you kudosed EP for his post implying that you had the mistaken belief that the attack was at least partly to do with Trump.
But from what reports of the police show according to snopes, the attack didn't start because of him being a Trump supporter. In fact, if you listen to the lady, she sounded surprised that he turned out to be a Trump supporter. Furthermore, there is nothing to indicate that these were Hillary supporters who attacked him (and yes, you didn't say they were, but this is to make it clear for others).
And no you don't want to make up your own story when it comes to judging the context of certain situations, you always need to check various sources first before you jump to hasty conclusions. This is a sign of using your brain the right way, and not a sign of weakness. But then again, I don't expect much from a sad moron like you.

It wasn't directly about Trump. It was a racial violence. But the liberal fascists will not acknowledge that they tacitly endorse this violence because it suppresses dissent for there tyrannical policies. You will be made to care.

It makes them Americans. 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.
“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. Ingersoll

That's right. Talk is cheap.

They did however influence the primaries (by generally siding with Hillary from the start). That can have an impact. Had Bernie been treated fairly by the DNC, then perhaps we would be having better days now. Anyway, it's just speculating. No one can really tell what would be happening now if Bernie had been able to win the primaries.
The DNC have no one to blame but themselves for the questioning they're getting regarding the integrity of their primary process. Whether Bernie would have beaten Trump or not is an open question.

I agree that Bernie would've been the better candidate. And perhaps we would've been in a state of celebration now and not in this nightmare...
I remember endorsing Hillary over Bernie myself. That was a mistake many people made, I believe.

Saying everyone who voted for Trump is a racist bigot is just stupid. My dad voted for Trump. As a Hispanic man, I can tell you he's not racist, and he certainly isn't a bigot. My mom, on the other hand, voted Hillary.
Neither one of my parents was the least bit happy with the candidate they voted for, but they voted on who they saw as the lesser evil of 2 very very bad choices. Neither one of them is anything other than a decent human being trying to do the right thing when they feel backed into a corner. Calling either of them nasty, accusatory things will only alienate them from the opposite side.
A vote for Trump was a vote for bigotry. There's no getting around that. I don't think all Trump supporters are bigots in their personal values. But I do think that if you vote for a bigot, you own a share of the bigotry that unfolds from that support.
If you lay down with dogs, you're bound to get fleas.

Protests do not make you nor dismiss you as an American. we have the right to peacefully protest, not riot.
Rioting makes them hypocrites. they claim trump will destroy America as they themselves destroy what they can of this country.
