If not even before Civil War 1 when bounties and mobs were sent to get rid of abolitionist speakers in the North and south.<br /><br />This old Tradition is still there, because it works independent of ideology.

Same as the Tea Party. Those that get in the way of the Left, get hurt. Similar to the mafia. That is not DC's task or responsibility to fix, but the individual citizen's task to ensure their own survival first and foremost. Giving power to DC in return for protection and security, merely corrupts the hearts of Trum supporters, as it has corrupted Leftists and Democrats.<br /><br />Trum still isn't going to save his supporters on the street, no matter how much the Alt Right idealizes their self proclaimed King.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-27462613478919920882016-12-08T15:42:15.500-05:002016-12-08T15:42:15.500-05:00I assume you can take care of yourself, whichever ...I assume you can take care of yourself, whichever rally you care to attend. It may be 'almost one sided,' but the fear of it is also almost one sided (on the other side). <br /><br />I fear not to go to anyone's rally, or anyone's protest. I go where I like, and let the world beware. That befits any free man. <br /><br />So: yes, Trump's supporters have some times engaged in violence; and he has sometimes seemed to encourage it. But all of us should undertake to be free, and to defy anyone who would deny us our rights. Even in their teeth, we should defy them.

It's be...<i>It hasn't been one-sided, though.</i><br /><br />It's been close to one-sided. (And not in disadvantage of Trump's supporters.) Based on the history of the campaigns, would you have felt more nervous about attacks going to a Trump rally a month ago, or a Hillary rally? How many Hillary events were shut down by her opponents, deliberately and of plan? (If that had happened to a Hillary rally, would something have been done about it by law enforcement?)<br /><br />I don't like this sort of well-there-has-been<i>some</i>-violence-on-that-side-as-well temporization. It's minimizing the attacks on Trump supporters, which I consider a serious attack on democracy.jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.com
