John Podhoretz wrote an editorial that Deplorables might become violent if Drumpf is removed.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Of course he's a neo con, but a very bright one. I would link it from Commentary , but I am loathe to cite conservative sources in an original post.


If you happen to confront a Deplorable be prudent, be safe, be aware, be vigilant. If you see something, say something.

[spanone]

1. is that a threat or just a warning?

they should become violent over their health insurance being gutted

[dalton99a]

9. +1

[yardwork]

2. They're already violent.

[AgadorSparticus]

16. +1

[ananda]

25. Exactly!

Thus .. so what!

[guillaumeb]

3. I can see Trump's followers being convinced that Trump's removal would be caused by

a liberal conspiracy to stop the will of the people.

The so-called silent majority that is neither silent nor a majority.

[sarcasmo]

8. The Obama's fault spin started today.

[guillaumeb]

11. It might not spin too long.

Either Trump is correct, or he is not.

If there was a wiretap, a FISA Court request would provide even more evidence against Trump.

If there was no wiretap, that information will come out.

Either way, Trump and the GOP are on the defensive,

[sarcasmo]

17. When has correct ever influenced the Faux news, Brietbart, Drudge crowd?

[guillaumeb]

20. True. But the Washington DC crowd

will be influenced, to some degree, by facts and reality.

The GOP establishment would, I feel, discard and prosecute Trump if they felt he had become a liability to their agenda. Either Pence or Ryan would be an acceptable substitute for the GOP/Koch establishment.

[sarcasmo]

22. I have faith the CIA and NSA will take this delusional idiot down.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. ...

The result might well be violence. Not rhetorical violence. Actual violence. Actual political violence. Actual conflicts between anti-Trumpers and Trumpers. At demonstrations. In the streets. Of our cities. Political violence of a sort we haven’t seen in 50 years, and maybe haven’t really seen in this country in the modern era. Those who believe Trump is a unique menace whose threat to our democratic way of life will be met with those who believe the elites are using illicit means to oust the legitimately elected president of the United States.

The Deplorables do have a logistical problem. Most of them hail from rural areas. Are they going to take buses to NYC, L A, Chicago, DC et cetera?

[guillaumeb]

15. Even during the Vietnam War era, violence was relatively rare.

So one hopes that if there is any, it will be random acts.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Nixon egged on the hard hats , but he was much more subtle.

I also believe he didn't want to foster a civil war. I believe Drumpf and Bannon do.

[guillaumeb]

21. True. Nixon was at least sane, and generally functional.

I cannot say the same thing regarding Trump or Bannon.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Nixon was about Nixon. He didn't want to change the America or the world like President Bannon.

That is a huge difference.

[delisen]

4. Is he building a case that we should do what they want so that they won't hurt us?

[Squinch]

5. They'll become violent either way. Better it should be without the backing of the president.

[ck4829]

6. You don't need to be a military expert to see this could happen

They are the group that brought us Jim David Adkisson, Scott Roeder, Dylann Roof, Robert Lewis Dear, Adam Purinton, Jason Dalton, etc.

They believe that him being President gives them power, they will not give it up.

[Lefthacker]

7. Strap in people

Because it's about to get real ugly. As this intel info starts to rain down on the orange Furher his followers are going to explode. Our country is about to enter a fractured state that we haven't seen since the Civil war.

[Docreed2003]

33. We're already there...

The divisions in this country have been forged for years and the fracture, as you said, won't be easily defined by state lines this time!

[HopeAgain]

10. Have you seen the National Enquirer?

Headlines are claiming that Obama is leading a revolt against Trump, I really worry that someone will try and assassinate Obama.

[beachbum bob]

12. I trust law enforcment to safeguard the public over rioters

and trump supporters would be rioters

[lunasun]

30. Not without plenty of damage. Check out most city police blogs . They are vocal trumpers

Much of the military too . And while not all by any means , there are enough of them to turn an eye or stand without resistance as sympathizers to give them some leeway to act out thier "grievance "

[Demsrule86]

14. They are already violent. So don't stop our criminal activities because we will come for you?

What are they the Mafia?

[AgadorSparticus]

19. It is what it is. My feeling on this is if they decide to go down that route, they will be held

Accountable for their actions. We have a system of laws that need to be upheld. There will be NO KOWTOWING. They are not mightier than our law enforcement.

[roamer65]

24. Then they will get a taste of military rule.

The US military WILL take control and put down the insurrection. The military will be supported by the majority of Americans as well.

There is a "deep state" and they will experience it first hand.

[gopiscrap]

26. let the fuckers become violent

then nail 'em

[SticksnStones]

27. I dunno, the Bundy militia tried to takeover a government building

And by the third day they needed snacks.

A lot of talk, not a lot of skill and long term planning in that crew.

[kairos12]

31. ..and socks.

[Turbineguy]

28. The question is

is their desire to have a civil war greater than their desire to saty in their Mothers' basements?

Mothers of Deplorables! America needs you now! Keep cranking out coffee (caffeine-free preferred) and tuna sandwiches!

[PatrickforO]

29. Ignorance, stupidity and guns! What could possibly go wrong?

[octoberlib]

32. I actually follow John Podhoretz on Twitter along with some other neverTrumps.

I don't always agree with his policy stances but he's very funny.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Might? Become?

That horse has been out of the stable for months. Show me the part where we fight back.

We could burn his so called speech in front of the White House just to reinforce how history repeats and suffragists don't play. It's Women's History Month and I am willing to bet I've got some sagging body parts with explicit histories, that if exposed, could be deadly.
