I’ve been saying this sort of time for a long time but it’s nice to have someone with a higher profile than me comment on it as well:
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.
If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.
if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.
On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.
We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. The media downplays it.
We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online. You don’t hear much about that.
Yesterday, by no coincidence, Huffington Post, Salon, and Daily Kos all published similar-sounding hit pieces on me, presumably to lower my influence. (That reason, plus jealousy, are the only reasons writers write about other writers.)
Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, I assume, they consider it justified hyperbole.
Violence. It’s what all leftists from Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, to the more modern day Hugo Chavez and Hillary Clinton all do to advance their agenda.
an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, … , and so on and so forth.
you know, trial by combat was viewed in the olden days as a way to get god’s pronouncements on thing … you survived, god favored you. you died, you were wrong. it wasn’t such a bad system, and it had a way of weeding out loudmouths.
we should not turn our backs on old ways, just because we are so damned moral and highfalutin. tell me if i am wrong.
I got the strangest look from my wife one time: “I think society would be greatly improved if everyone carried a sword.”
agreed.
Yes and no. They are a right royal pain to get in and out of cars whether you have a scabbard at your hip or over your shoulder, and the range isn’t as much as a pistol. Personally, I like a glaive, though carrying and indoor use are problematic.
But the saying “an armed society is a polite society” still applies quite well.
How about the saying, “It sucks to live in a country in the middle of a civil war?” Which is what you are setting up for.
So the old, tired media is in the bag for the Dems? So what. Looks like newer alternatives work just fine.
Neither side has got the least idea of the hell they are fixing to unleash upon themselves and their children. It makes me ill to think I will live to see it.
Who is the “you” in your second sentence?
It’s pretty clear to me that if things move to a breakdown, the blame belongs to those who have subverted the United States and the plain words of the Constitution.
