Didja read the article? He's talking about Leftist violence and it has been happening since the inauguration.

Yes, Mr. Joshua, I have read the article, and I have read and re-read the available transcript of his comments. My opinion has not changed, and I have explained my position in multiple posts. Didja read them?

Apparently you didn't at the time of the post that I responded to. No threats were made.

If anyone thinks that's a threat of violence from the right, failed to read and comprehend the article:


Quote:
"It's not a question of like or dislike, it's a question that they will overturn everything that we've done and they will do it quickly and violently. And violently. There is violence. When you look at Antifa -- these are violent people,"

Talk about spinning words....

Because I came to a different conclusion than you? It is possible that two people can read the same material and think differently about it. My opinion is just as valid as yours, and I see fearmongering. I can only hope those in attendance are wise enough to see through it and not politicize the pulpit, which will put their churches in much more peril than the possibility of a Democratically-controlled House.

ANTIFA COULD riot regardless, they are other side to the anarchist libertarians on the far right (well in fiscal policy.)
They just got politicized and motivated under Trump. They however don't live Democrats.

But regardless, this is just asinine for a president to say this. Alex Jones doing it is one thing, now we got a President using riots to re-energize his base is morally reprehensible.

Just when you think Trump couldn't possibly get any lower.

It defies logic.

Trump - If the Left wins, they'll get violent.

Why would the Left (ignoring that its really goons on the fringe) get violent if they win?

I mean he is playing this up like this it will be the Summer of '68 all over again.

I mean, lets be honest, the Ds winning back the House (I assume the Senate is out of reach) is more likely to be met with this reaction:

And it still makes no sense. If Democrats win, they will resort to violence. Why would the winners resort to violence??????

Yes, I did. In my opinion, Trump's words are an incitement to preemptory violence to counter what Trump purports is a widespread threat from Antifa. He's very clear; he's not mincing his words.

This is how wannabe autocrats consolidate their power.
