Frightening! Watching Clips of Trump's Rally Last Night!


I think the time is now for all of us to decide how we are gonna handle these Nazi like Rallies for Trump..
The attacks on the media ( Man Acosta and other reporters have guts and are not gonna back down) There is bound to be violence soon at these rallies..I'm frightened for the reporters.

It's time now for Dems. Woman Groups, LGBT Groups, Union Members who get it.... and even Repubs who are increasingly moving to our side.. we need to begin organizing counter protests at Trump's event.. Immediately!

Realize it could lead to violence, but we just can't sit by and watch Reporters being attacked... Not Physical Attacks ..YET! Obviously these protests would have to be held Outside the Events.. But if we get enough people to legitimately hold a rally....Silent Perhaps... Loud as hell perhaps... but we can not stand by and just watch this stuff... I wonder if these rallies were ignored by many when the Nazi's began their decent into Hell!

Anyone else see the light around here.. I'm ready to fight like hell now.

Sorry about grammar.... I'm fucking upset!

stop at nothing to suppress the rights of the rest of us. Remember this, that for every idiotic rump supporter you see, you'll see two of us...we outnumber them, and we're smarter than they are (remember, they're the ones being led by rump, not us, that's why we're smarter than they are).

I'll stand up for my rights (and anyone else's) if these assh**** want to do anything about it. Just try.

is that the secret service prevents people with firearms from entering one of theses trump nazi rallies.

If those 3d plastic guns get approved for distribution...

Be angry. Rage.

That this thing is President of our country. But do not cower, do not shrink. Fuck these people. Rage against this. But do not be afraid.

what will happen to his supporters? Will they resort to violence or will they just go underground again? What we've learned since Trump was elected - is that this Nation still is a very racist Nation. If Trump is dealt with - that racism will not go away - it will just not have the outlet and cover that Trump has given them.

In the background we will know that racism will continue to foment in a large portion of our population.

Is it a ticking time bomb or will we just ignore the fact that a large portion of our population is racist?

I would give Trump a get out of jail free card if he went on national TV and admitted everything he had done and flat out told his admirers that he had made a fool of them.

Otherwise they will follow him to the ends of the earth and make a martyr of him.

It wouldn't be justice but I would rather see these people put down in shame rather than left feeling aggrieved.

Besides, I have my doubts that our justice system could handle the circus of a trial that would be created to try and take him to court. How do you seat a "jury of peers" for a President? How could you find 12 people that did not already have their minds made up?
