When indictments come out of this grand jury I have a feeling that there will be some pretty angry folks toting firearms around our country.
Brainwashing works very well as seen in Nazi germany...I wouldn't be surprised if civil war happens in this country if he is indicted.

If anyone picked up weapons in any real way there would be some mayors and governors declaring martial law faster than you could say "Lock WHO up?"

(41,915 posts)You might be right about Muslims but this has nothing to do with Muslims so it's an indefensible admission that they're itching to harm people out of sheer bigotry. I guess I'd worry that people would make up stories, step into the void so they could just straight out enact their rage, but I maintain that the number of people actually willing to put their own lives at risk is minuscule. Shouting at rallies when you're in a bigoted safe space is different from going out there where the National Guard is waiting.

Plus, we have a whole generation of veterans who are very experienced in combat to call up if needed.
Notice how few trumpees are veterans? Two reasons. They (the trumpers)are cowardly little suck holes who cannot handle discipline and are too selfish to work with others.
2: Veterans have a better understanding of civic duty and are exposed to tons of diversity.
