So, which of the 99 posts prior to you post....your post being 100 and the next post is 101 (which you quoted)....


What would you like us to read? Many of those other 99 posts go DIRECTLY against what you are attempting to say....


So, why don't you give us your own words.....


Never mind, we know the answer...you agree with the 81 year old being beaten....he deserved it because of the hat....

Agreed, but as you can see there are many supporters of the man being beat because of the hat.....

Look, I get it in that an ideal world, we can wear whatever we want and say whatever we want. But life is not like that.

The news has been filled with people wearing the MAGA hat and clothing getting beat and harassed. So unless you've been living under a rock, you all know DARNED well that to wear a MAGA hat in public is to potentially provoke someone.

If your intention is to wear the MAGA hat in public regardless, knowing darned well that it may provoke someone, then I can only assume that your narcissistic need to prove a point and get viral attention knows no boundaries.

If I had a loved one, no way in hell would I allow them to wear a MAGA hat in public, even though I support Trump. Life is always about adaptation and preserving your own safety and well being. After all, would you wear a Mongols t-shirt to a Hells Angels club?

If society is crazy enough that wearing a certain piece of clothing will potentially trigger someone, then guess what? i'm not wearing that damned clothing. Period. End of story. What point does it prove to wear one and then get beat, so you can crow about how intolerant and hateful liberals and Trump haters are?
So is this your advice for people who wear hoodies?
Burkas?
short skirts?
Look I get what you are trying to say, but attacking someone over a hat? Claiming to be provoked by a hat? No people like that are simply nuts and will find another reason to flip out.

That's because you are smart. Chances are greater that a person with a Confederate flag might be armed.

The people who are doing the assaulting are cowards. They are attacking only old people, women, and smaller/outnumbered victims.

If this crap keeps happening, you might just see groups of men who are very capable of handling themselves purposely donning the hats to provoke these a--holes and then the results might end up being fatal.

People have recommended that I put you on ignore, because apparently this cryptic stuff is your M.O. and nobody ever knows what the hell you are talking about. So I am not going to go back and read anything because time is precious and I dont want to waste it on a goose chase that will lead nowhere. If you truly had something to say, then you would just say it. Otherwise, you are just trolling.

You are absolutely right about the biker gangs. Is it not a sharp decline from what used to be life in the U.S. 4 years ago when political leaders had not created a chasm in public opinion wide enough to resemble gang rivalry?

You should try interacting with people who see things differently sometime, you might be surprised and make some new friends while you're at it, you'll find out conservatives aren't so scary afterall.
Why waste my time. I can get all the blathering about Trump I can stand right here on CD. And judging by some of the comments made here, yes, some Trumpers are pretty scary after all.

Agreed, but I never put anyone on ignore.....I always need a good gut busting laugh.....every now and then.....

hmmm? i’m not the tiniest bit angry. sounds like projection on your part.
in fact, I’m tickled to pieces that one of your intolerant, rage-addled brethren got busted.

Authorities charged Salvagno, of Somerset, with disorderly persons offenses of assault and harassment. Police did not disclose how they identified the alleged attacker.

The victim suffered minor injuries and declined medical treatment, according to the prosecutor’s office.
