You misunderstood me again. Of course there were actions by crazy individuals on both sides. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people punished by organized groups and the powerful. I'm talking about Google firing people and the police ignoring mob attacks. And you still haven't mentioned any such things. I agree Trump's rhetoric was dangerous but he hasn't acted on it, as far as I know.

Google didn't fire someone for supporting Trump. The police chief/city officials ignoring mob attacks based on politics is indeed a huge problem. If I'm reading the example you posted correctly, and the most recent update [0], a judge has so far dismissed claims against the defendants who would have the power -- e.g. the mayor and police chief -- to tell police to not protect Trump supporters. Did police officers intentionally decide to harm Trump supporters? I suppose the court case will examine that, though it's worth noting that Trump was endorsed by the nation's largest police union [1], so the thought of police being part of a conspiracy to hurt Trump would be pretty surprising. In case you were unaware of Democrat-supporters who were either fired, or were threatened to be fired, for their support of Democrats, here you go: - https://www.aol.com/2013/01/18/utah-terry-lee-forensics-fires-supporting-obama-two-employees/ https://www.aol.com/2013/01/18/utah-terry-lee-forensics-fire... - http://www.cbsnews.com/news/was-employee-laid-off-for-voting-for-obama/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/was-employee-laid-off-for-voting... - https://www.mediaite.com/online/fired-for-voting-ohio-woman-claims-her-2012-obama-vote-cost-her-a-job/ https://www.mediaite.com/online/fired-for-voting-ohio-woman-... - http://www.salon.com/2017/01/20/newt-gingrich-wants-to-fire-federal-employees-who-voted-for-clinton/ http://www.salon.com/2017/01/20/newt-gingrich-wants-to-fire-... - http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/09/news/economy/siegel-email-employees/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/09/news/economy/siegel-email-em...
