Death Threats The New Norm For Criticizing Trump. Sets A Dangerous Precedent.

If you are a public figure of any kind criticizing Trump really could endanger you or your family. Some recent public skirmishes with Trump are revealing a dangerous unacceptable pattern. It is a dangerous way to stifle or suppress rightful criticism. And this kind of activity increases the possibility that someone could lose their life because some nut went after them. We are in really uncharted territory when death threats become so common.

Even is you are just a regular person the actions of the Trump nuts means that anyone who says anything nasty about this fool could become a victim. And it will only get worse one Trump becomes POTUS.

If Trump launches a tweet attack on you, no matter who you are, his brownshirts will do their job. At this time their job is to harass and threaten and stalk you and your employer and your family.

This is how it starts.
