"We" is everyone who posted on this thread, it's obviously by the replies that we all got the point.

I didn't try to imply anything about hidden supporters. Where did you get that stupid idea?

DO YOU get my point?

This incident seems a tad...intolerant..to me.

As this plays out, it should be interesting.
Liberals sure are tolerant.

I have a very liberal sister and she is one of the most intolerant people I know. If ANYONE disagrees with her world view she calls them names. My mother has a cousin that spends too much time watching Fox news BUT is a good guy. He parroted something he heard on the "news" and now my sister will not be nice to him. So much for "celebrating diversity".

My cousins kid is a lesbian and one holiday she brought her friend to a holiday get together. I was sitting there when my sister "warned" the two girls my mothers cousin "hated them". I was also there when he was introduced to the girls and there was a very pleasant conversation between them. My sister has it in her mind that politics is binary; you lean conservative you buy EVERYTHING that party sells.

I am sure there are people just the opposite of my sister; rabid conservatives that hate everyone liberal. People need to wake up and understand you can agree to disagree but still be civil.

You just can't have a discussion with crazy people. Probably stole some signs too.

My son has shown me snapchat stories of his friends stealing Trump signs. I have also seen videos online and on TV of people stealing, running over, burning, etc. Trump signs. Yet, this never happens to a Hillary sign.

So, Clinton supports claim that Trump supporters are intolerant people. Yet, how are they the tolerant ones when they steal and deface Trump supporter's property to send a message? Doesn't this make them intolerant of other people's views and opinions?

Yes. The so-called 'open minded' and 'tolerant' liberals are the least tolerant people on the planet. Is this news to you? Just look at the Ken Bone situation from last week. Ask Ben Carson how much liberals love black people. It has been this way a long time.

Many tea party and other Republicans are vehemently opposed to Trump; the GOP is in the midst of a meltdown due to nasty infighting. So who's to say it's Dems vandalizing the signs?

"Hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence—essentially making a hasty conclusion without considering all of the variables. In statistics, it may involve basing broad conclusions regarding the statistics of a survey from a small sample group that fails to sufficiently represent an entire population."

Of course it's happening. They brag about it.

Here's another example (from WaPo, so the usual suspects won't have to venture out of their comfort zone), and I just LOVE her reason for the theft of 40+ signs in 20 minutes. Supposedly now contrite, she couldn't help herself because the signs were destroying the equilibrium in the community .

I just read the article. What a POS that woman is! Not to mention what a horrible example she is to her daughter.
