What do you think of the radical Democrats who won't accept the election results and march in the streets siting violence to the point of what happened today?
You have to admit Republicans accepted the election results when Obama was elected even though we did not like it and thought he was not doing things right for the country. No marching in the streets and tearing up and burning down things on campuses.
What do you say to the radicals you know and how do you think they can be stopped from all the marching and violence? You know this just destroys your party. How did the radical left take over your party?
For me it wasn't the just election results, although now we know the Russians had a hand in the election. No, I'm not saying they "changed" votes, it was much more insidious than that. However, it's that Trump made many claims and statements on the campaign trail that would be detrimental to our country, IMO. Given the fact that he has chosen cabinet members who represent the antithesis of the positions to which they are appointed only cements that fact for me. He is denying climate change, he has an issue with Planned Parenthood, his travel ban is just code speak for banning Muslims, as several courts have agreed. There are so many things, including the fact that he obviously does not know how to comport himself among foreign leaders. He acts like a spoiled petulant child, who can't put his phone down. It's embarrassing really.
That being said, I do not agree with violent protest. I do not approve of people burning things or hurting other people. I don't personally know any "radicals" who would do such things. Marching and peaceful protest is not a problem. Violence is.
I often argue for the right now but I was a life long Democrat until Obama showed me what hope and change looked like. No choice but to vote for Trump and try to undo all the damage Obama caused. I still consider myself a Moderate Democrat but there is no such thing in the Democrat party anymore. Trump was the only one talking to the working class.
Marching for what? We think Trump is doing just fine. Too bad the MSM won't report on all the good he is doing but only report on all the negative things the Democrats are accusing him of without much proof.
I think trying to equate those who march peacefully in opposition to anything with the mentally ill person responsible for what happened today is a ludicrous comparison.
Berkley was far from peaceful. Are you saying all those people who were burning and tearing up the campus were mentally ill?
You're really overestimating how much these people identify themselves as Democrats.
You're also completely missing their point. No one questions that Trump won the election. They just think he should be impeached and removed from power for various reasons.
Not too different than how many felt Obama should have been impeached and removed, for various reasons.
Then there are those who called for an armed revolution in anticipation of a Hillary win.
The minority, who espouse violence, regardless of party, are the true deplorable losers.
The tone, the right tone, has to be set at the top.

I don't know any left-wing radicals. The most politically radical people I know are all right-wing.
I don't advocate violence in response to a democratic process not going your way. Violent revolution is called for in extreme circumstances, but Trump's election doesn't even come close to fulfilling that requirement.
I didn't vote for him and I don't like him, but that's as far as it goes for me and every other non-Trumper I know.
I believe that guy was paid to be there to irritate the crowd. Anybody with a sign like that knows better than to go to a crowd like that. If you want milk and honey you wouldn't start at that place.
There were agitators on the left in the TEA party rallies. It was proven. The real TEA party people had to report them to the police as fakers who wanted to start a fight with others. You can't always trust people, some are plants to discredit their opponents---read "Rules for Radicals".

I am a moderate Democrat and I disagree that this is an honest question.
