When it happened, most leftists here gave him a pass. The media gave him a pass. Trump gets no pass from either. If shouting burn this MF down, followed by people doing just that, is simply exercising free speech, then Trump's milder comments surely qualify as well, no?
Peaceful protests are great. I've not seen a peaceful protester get attacked by a Trump supporter. Non peaceful protesters are called instigators. They are paid to go instigate. They are not victims. What is disturbing to me is that so many think it is fine for protesters to bully, harass, threaten and actually assault people to stifle another's right to support their candidate. This is the USA. Intimidation tactics in our election process should mortify all of us, IMO. It is unacceptable.
I'm no fan of the Donald, but he has every right to run. People have every right to support and vote for him. No one has the right to intimidate or assault others in an attempt to get them to not support their candidate. Trump supporters are not crashing opponents' gatherings. Many of these protesters aren't even eligible to vote due to age or status. They have no right to punch another, damage public property or harass others. It is infuriating that anyone would defend this attempt to shut down any candidate like this.
I agree with a lot of what you say. However, he has said some really dumb things including agreeing with his supporters hitting critics. If you gonna play with fire....
I agfre
He can agree with whatever dumbass thing he wants. It is better that he say it out loud IMO. Again, Trump supporters are not crashing other places assaulting people. They are attending their candidates rallies, minding their own damned business. Paid instigators, including minors and illegal aliens, are instigating violence. I have not seen a peaceful protester attacked. Every attack by Trump people has been in self defense or retaliation. It is the other side that is attempting to stifle the political process by illegal tactics. Law enforcement should remove them before it gets to that point. It is the other side that is sending people to skirt and even cross the line from protesting to intimidation.
At this point, I'm considering Trump if it comes down to it. I'll be damned if a 16 year old who should be in class somewhere is going to intimidate me from my right to support a candidate. Non Americans involving themselves in our political process is disturbing. The left seems to like that road and it is disturbing to me.
um, yeah they arethough. they are playing a part. Trump used to egg it on to. I figure his crooked campaignguys had him back off that like they have with immigration and helth care. but yeah, Trump supporters need to grow up alittle.
Again, Trump supporters are at their own event minding their own business. Scuffles have been the result of instigators provoking violence. Why is it that you only mention Trump supporters who need to grow up? Why not mention the minor child screaming in the face of adults exercising their RIGHT to support a presidential candidate, and punching a Trump supporter for screaming back? Do you think she needs to grow up, too? Why not mention the trend of non Americans violently trying to subvert the US's election process? Foreign influence by violence and intimidation is far more problematic than Bubba's fighting back when being bullied by paid instigators.
I am not a violent person and have never been in a physical fight in my life. If someone was in my face screaming obscenities at me while I am peacefully exercising my constitutional right to participate in MY country's election process, I can't guarantee that I would not push them out of my personal space to avoid flying spittle. The protesters look to me like they are deliberately pushing the line until they find the breaking point. We all have a breaking point.
I have been intending some sort of write in or protest vote; however, the more I see this kind of subversion of our election process, the more I am considering voting for Trump to protect against it. This is unacceptable and damaging to our election process. No one should be intimidated for supporting their candidate in the US. No one should be cowed from attending their candidate's event for fear of violence from instigators. This is the USA ffs.
