Among the crowd that brawled in Manhattan on Sunday, there were Trump hats, American flags, people dressed in all black and others sporting red gear that read “Make America Great Again.” Punches were thrown, eggs were launched and expletives were yelled.

The fight in the heart of Times Square between Trump supporters and demonstrators protesting the president led to 11 arrests, police said, after a “verbal dispute that turned physical."

The incident points to the political tensions boiling over at the final stretch of a particularly divisive campaign season. While police normally prepare for potential unrest around elections, The Washington Post’s Mark Berman reported, fears are heightened among law enforcement leaders this year that any result at the polls — or no immediately obvious one — could spark physical confrontations.

Already, a number of violent brawls have broken out in recent weeks between groups rallying for or against Trump on city streets around the country.

1. Remember the caravan of refugee invaders at the U.S. southern border?

To me, these Trump caravans are 1,000 times more menacing. I have seen a few instances of giant pickup trucks driving around our area in little parades with Trump flags and American flags, no doubt with the intention of voter intimidation. They need to swap out the American flag (that's MY flag too, dammit) with one with a swastika on it.

2. These people think it's okay to come parading around in their idiotic vehicles, right in front of us

parading and prancing around like it was their neighborhoods. Show at least a little respect to these neighborhoods you're visiting. We're not flooding into your hovels and parading around, but I guess we'll have to start doing so.

The trumpettes especially are getting more and more sensitive as doomsday approaches...they know despite all of the filthy tricks that they are trying, the threats they are uttering, and all of the other crap that they are trying to pull, it won't work. Voter doomsday is still coming for trump.

Way way too many people are sick and tired of all things trump, they are sick and tired of his mouth, they are sick and tired of his lies, they are sick and tired of his pathetic supporters/thugs.

3. brawls?

there have been murders by RW supporters with perpetrators as young as 17 killing in the name of trump. So much bullshit covering the reality of racism that has cursed this country from the very first genocide of NativeFirst-American culture(s) The goddamn MSM is revelling in the drama they create to show some kind of 'horserace' an ensuing "brawls". Their advertising revenue spent has helped their profits go through the roof, no doubt.

4. "violent brawls....between groups rallying for or against Trump on city streets around the country"

I can't read the entire article, but based on what I can read, more false equivalencies from our MSM.
Just based on history, recent history even, any violence breaking out, is almost always started by some right wing Trumpster(s). The fact that more left leaning, anti-Facist youth had had enough and organized counter protests to these assholes taking over their streets, is not a "violent" action. I'll bet 99/100 it is always some Trump cultist that starts any confrontation.
