And he now wants to cast liberals and Democrats as mobs, saying Democrats produce mobs while Republicans produce jobs.
Well, count me among the mob, if that means people who stand in opposition to Trumps degradation of the country in all ways. If the mob stands up for women and stands up to the National Rifle Association, I want in. If the mob hates corruption and loves the increasing diversity of this country, then it is for me. If the mob finds it abhorrent that during the same week that it became clear that a Washington Post columnist had been killed in a Saudi Arabian consulate, Trump praised an American politician who assaulted a journalist, then yes, yes, yes to the mob.
Make no mistake: Trumps strategy will work. He now knows the people who support him very well. He has never stopped playing to them and campaigning for them. They are family. They feast together on hatred and intolerance.
But none of that should dampen liberal enthusiasm or soften liberal resolve. What we want this country to be cannot be subject to the whims of Trump and his base.

(11,885 posts)To demonize others with , when everyone can clearly see he's inciting his followers to do violence for him to others. He always uses others for his dirty work , and promotes violence then claims others are doing it, see the pattern? If he loses big as is expected this Nov. watch how long before he has them turned against others again to attack them because he lost . He'll claim it was illegitimate. When he is the illegitimate president.
