You want to talk about a cult...the cult is the people slurping up the media KoolAid. The media is the dirty guy in the white panel van asking you if you'd like some candy, and you all are the ignorant children happily getting in to the van.
No one needs the media to tell them how to hear the dog whistle words coming out of Trump's mouth. When he says he'll pay the legal fees of any of his supporters who hits a protester or that he "would like to punch that guy in the face" it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that Trump is inviting violence. Most of the protesters before this past weekend where doing nothing more than standing silently with a sign when Trump would yell "get them out of here." Other candidates (for years) have had silently protesters at their events and they just ignore them or their security quietly ushers them out if they do more. Trump makes them part of a floor show and that is a dangerous game he is playing.

The post below needs repeating.........

Only at Trump rallies, where that is routine now.

Dissent is a Constitutional right. At least it is now. If Donnie got his way that would no longer be true. Be careful what you wish for.

A person wearing a badge is not a Trump supporter, it's a cop.
A person wearing a business suit and an earpiece is not a Trump supporter, it's Secret Service.

That you cannot discern the difference between security and regular people says more about you than it does me.

And I have YET to see a single video posted that shows the crowd violently pushing and shoving any protester. You all keep trying, you all keep failing.

Standing quietly with a sign is being obnoxious? Trump is not running to be president for a select few people, he is running to be president for ALL Americans. Therefore, American voters who disagree with him have a right to dissent. We've been doing it since before this country was founded. It's as American as apple pie. It's so American it's even a guaranteed right in our Constitution.

Trump, however, would like to see all dissenters "carried out on a stretcher."

Remember that should he become president and you disagree with something he says or does. Because then he'll be talking about you.

Meh, this I don't care about. You have an opinion, you don't like him, so what. I think that clown in the WH is the worst thing to ever happen to this country, and I mock the fools who voted for him on a daily basis.

What I detest is lying. I also detest exaggeration. It shows dishonesty - and I hate people who lie, intentionally, especially those who are paid to do it on social media.

Well, we can't help you if you refuse to look. But in case you are seriously saying you haven't seen any evidence of pushing and shoving, here you go:

Oh look one half of the bosom buddies does a write up of a political rally and posts it to Facebook.

Get back to your Cheetos, mountain dew, flannel pjs and xbox.

Again, these videos.

So I apparently have to repeat myself:

Yeah, the black lady was so "violently" shoved and pushed...maligned, as it was put, that she was laughing the entire time. Fail.

ONE Trump supporter...yeah, we know. ONE Trump supporter out of how many thousands upon thousands? By the way, security are not there to show "support" for Trump, they are there to help keep the peace. Or were you not aware what security is for?

And finally, the Muslim woman, at no time was she "violently" pushed and shoved. And once again, it was the cops who escorted her out, not Trump supporters.

Sssssshhhhh, don't mention the facts to the anti Trumps, they have a pants wetting problem already, this may push them over the edge.

Haha, this ranks up there with the previous fake OP post about the Nazi Brownshirts.

And the fake story yesterday about a sheriff bringing violence incitement charges against Trump.



I predict silence later tonight.

Are Trump's rallies open to the public, or do you need a special invite like you do at a wedding? Do you have to show some pass to get in, or is any American voter welcome to come and hear a candidate for president speak?
