Who lives in a bubble where the whole world is against them?
Who ignores REALITY and refuses to learn or understand anything?
Who wants to "burn down" our "corrupt" government?
Not Democrats in North Carolina, or anywhere else.
There is a bunch of deplorables who have been yelling "burn it down"

"Donald Trump became an avatar for that seething dissatisfaction. With his gut instinct for an opportunity, he sensed the fragility of the Republican establishment and set himself against it, bolstered by his policy heterodoxies and roughhewn rhetorical style. Having no particular attachment to the Republican party as an institution, Trump was happy to cheer on calls to Burn it down!
Of course our corrupt media won't talk about this article.... or chant....
Someone heard his dog whistle it seems.

(229 posts)about it-- a "false flag" attack to generate a backlash against the left.
However, the point that it could have been done by far-right-wingnuts genuinely pissed off at the Republican establishment--- puts a new possible motive to it.

Trump is being slaughtered.
I wouldn't put anything past him, or his team of bald faced liars (surrogates) or his deplorables.

Known Trump Pussy Grabs: 11
Known Voter Fraud Cases: 10
GOP: We need voter ID laws to prevent fraud.
TRUMP: Fraud is everywhere. The election is rigged!
GOP: Whoa there buddy.
There's evidence that voters turn out less when they perceive the system to be corrupt. So this is a risk for Trump.

(3,338 posts)I live about 2 miles from the GOP Headquarters in Hillsborough. I personally know some of the leaders of the GOP in Orange County, and although we disagree on many issues, I find them to be otherwise good, decent people, whom I like as people, and I am truly saddened that this crime has taken place, as it affects our entire community. That being said, it is very hard to believe that any Democrats/Progressives around here would do this, and I am reminded of the old Roman saying "Cui Bono". However, as of yet, the facts are not in, and the police and SBI are doing their jobs, so I am not quite ready to jump to conclusions, other than whomever did this, is really, really stupid.

(5,049 posts)Trump promotes violence in his followers.
Trump supporters have used violence in the past - they will use violence in the future.
There is the answer.

(10,749 posts)I get that some of the more reasonable among us want to wait for the investigation to conclude. Fair enough.
But there's nothing wrong with having an opinion. We're not going to be called for jury duty in this case.
So, my take? 100%.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But that's my two cents.

(18,672 posts)I'm going with angry Trump supporting neo-Nazi soccer moms. It is someone who knows how to spell, make a proper swastika and wasted precious time spray painting "Republicans" instead of one of many shorter liberal nicknames for the GOP. "Or else"? Soccer. Mom. (I am kidding, of course!)
