What Are The Odds Republicans/Deplorables Burnt Their Own Office?

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"

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/440977/donald-trump-unshackled-republican-party-2016

"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.

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.

I seem to remember that Hitler's party came into power after the Reichstag was bombed and blamed on the other party. Later it was learned Hitler's group actually did it. History repeating itself?

The governor, and legislature are Christo Fascist freaks totally funded by a filthy rich scum bag.

Moral Mondays.

Sorry for leaving that out.

Puts the odds of the arsonist being a Democrat around 5%.

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

The Nazi message scrawled in spray paint sounds like something a right winger would say. (Similar messages have been aimed at blacks.) I can't see a disgruntled liberal using those words.

Known Trump Pussy Grabs: 11

Steve Kovach ?@stevekovach 42 minutes ago
GOP: We need voter ID laws to prevent fraud.
TRUMP: Fraud is everywhere. The election is rigged!
GOP: Whoa there buddy.


Nate Silver ?@NateSilver53843 minutes ago
There's evidence that voters turn out less when they perceive the system to be corrupt. So this is a risk for Trump.

17. My 2 cents

Oct 2016

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.

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.

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.

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!)

That's a clue, and it's ironic because it raised more questions than it answered.
