You're doing what liberals always seem to do in these situations: justify attacks, censorship and discrimination on the grounds that if you aren't a liberal you must be an anarchist who deserves whatever they get. That's a straw man argument.
- scarface74 7y agoYou don’t see it? It’s been said in these comments. Trump himself said that if he is impeached or doesn’t win re-election there would be violence.
- thu2111 7y agoI'm curious if you have a link for that latter claim. I'm not saying you're wrong, it sounds like the kind of thing he would say, but I can't find any reference to him saying that with a few obvious search queries. Claims that supporters said it maybe, but in a population of 350 million you can find "supporters" who say anything. Bernie supporters have also made such claims, it didn't really affect my view of him as a person. At any rate Trump is not exactly a model conservative. He is uninterested in any sort of fiscal conservatism, he's in favour of trade wars and his social policy stops at "illegal immigration is bad" which is practically a tautology for the head of a government (i.e. breaking the law is always considered bad). In fact there's really very little about him that's conservative at all, by traditional measures. Pretending the average conservative has much in common with Trump is like pretending the average Democrat voter has much in common with Lenin.
