At some point there has to be a meeting of the minds to reach a reasonable, rational solution that meets somewhere in the middle or inevitably Donald Trump will emerge victorious. Some of you seem to think that by violent protests, riots, looting, anarchy, yelling,screaming, blocking highways, taking up arms in an attempt to overthrow our government, blocking malls and preventing people from shopping or impeding on law abiding citizens rights; you will accomplish something or win this 'battle'. You're both correct and incorrect. You will accomplish something, certainly, but it wont be what you expected. Donald Trump is the Commander-In-Chief and whether you like it or not more people that serve will stand with him than against him (all military must follow his orders). That also goes for the law enforcement community and hard working law abiding citizens. Furthermore, the silent majority are watching and planning. Don't think for a minute what I just posted is incorrect. Now do things the right way while you still have a chance. This is not a threat, it is a call to come together in a civil matter, as in the tradition of our democratic republic, the United States of America, for all of our benefit.

Looked like a Threat to me, true to your Master and his techniques I see. So, I will assume you know where you can file it.
You are effectively saying you condone the recent distasteful and lawless behavior of your 'side'?
Are you talking about inauguration day. I haven't seen any violence in protests since then. The women's march had 500,000 in dc and there was no violence or arrests. So what exactly are you talking about.
It would really behoove the Left to understand that much of the support for Trump was/has been with a good deal of hesitation. Plus the fact his policies do have valid counterpoints.
At the very least this immigration uproar is over a policy issue (even though its roots are in Obama's WH). But overall since Election Day the majority of the criticism...overwhelming majority...has been typical SJW crybaby hissy fits. That's what got Trump elected in the first place.
Bottom line: this guy isn't overwhelmingly supported nor are his policies bulletproof. Acting somewhat like a sane person could and most likely would convert some folks to your side. Maybe even a good deal of folks.
Call this an intervention. Just some friendly advice.
I've been giving it for awhile now yet it has been ignored.

A small handful of Anarchists were violent on Inauguration Day. Probably no more than fifty people were involved.
That's it. There have been no other street riots, violence, looting, taking up arms, or any of the dire scenarios the OP outlined. His barely veiled threat - go peacefully, or you'll find out just how tough we Trumpites can be if we have to make you - is despicable.
I am as much in favor of civil discourse as is anyone else. I am also in favor of honesty, respect, democracy, and adhering to the Constitution of the United States of America.
