The collapse. I can sense it is getting closer.

That's another facet. This kind of contradiction completed my transition out of the GOP. The gaps in logic and cavalier attitude toward life were too great to ignore anymore.

I recently saw somebody I know on social media reference a video showing protesters punching and attacking Trump supporters as they leave/attend different rallies and say, "Look what Trump is inciting." These people actually do blame Trump for people who don't like Trump punching his supporters in the head.

Anymore I'm just here for the money. This country, this society is in very dire straits. We're in a lot of trouble. Idiocracy really is a true story...

Hello Abaco,
"The only power of a mob, as against an individual, is greater muscular strength—i.e., plain, brute physical force. The attempt to solve social problems by means of physical force is what a civilized society is established to prevent. The advocates of mass civil disobedience admit that their purpose is intimidation. A society that tolerates intimidation as a means of settling disputes—the physical intimidation of some men or groups by others—loses its moral right to exist as a social system, and its collapse does not take long to follow." Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal pg., 256

Our officials no longer serve the purpose for which a society is established. They have undermined their own legitimacy.

Respectfully,
O.A.

I have a very simple solution.

Those that go to the Trump rallies should practice SELF-DEFENSE! Let a few Trump supporters carry and kill the trash and things will change immediately.

Ya, I know there would be HUGE repercussions from that. It would be the poor protesters this and the poor protestors that but I guy can dream right?

it becomes more and more challenging to live free...

so true.....Harry Browne's book "How To Live Free in an Unfree World"...

Game over. Like in 1776.

When I read your post (without having read the previous in the thread) I thought you were talking about a comparison between Republicans who support the right to life by criticizing abortion (to keep moral religious voters voting GOP) while using drones to murder innocent civilians. Oh, the irony and the shameless lack of ethics of statists.

Of course they will. They'll tell the addled voter, "You don't want to vote for a murderer, do you?" Oh...the irony...

They wouldn't want us to realize that freedom is more important than all their manufactured dangers, and also the best solution to them by eliminating the source of the fear of those manufactured "dangers."

govt can't justify getting bigger to keep us "safe" if there is no violence...so it "balkanizes" us into groups like tectonic plates that "rub" against each other creating friction (violence) and gives govt the justification to step in and rule everyone for their own good...hiel Hitlary...

the left is making scenes like those in Missouri and
Maryland to enrage their base into electing Hillary.
the problem is that it works. -- j

Really can't wait till one of them snatches Marcus Lutrell's Trump Hat. I hope somebody puts that beat down on U-Tube! It'll be good as a cage match!

I know, right?

In the 60s and 70s, instigators and thugs were imported to stir the pots. In a campus club, the elected officers were defeated by a majority vote of "students" who literally crashed the meeting. There were no student ID checks...and no support from the college. Thus, the demise of a student organization that had been supporting Objectivism by a group led by a dissenting Republican. Most of the former club students continued to travel several hours to New York each week to attend NBI lectures. Now, we hear of activists literally paid and transported in order to violate the rights of individuals and groups. But it's not a new paradigm. History is full of such examples, from Brown Shirts to Black Shirts to tie-dye shirts and Martial Law, and Coup D'etat. Look to the politicians.

This is "The Mob"....... Not organized crime.....But the same "Mob" that tore France apart during the French Revolution and Guillotined all those people. What really amuses me is that Trump supporters and Mr. Trump keep getting blamed for this. That is like blaming the woman when there is a rape.

Yep, it's like we're seeing to book/movie play out in real life...

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who sees this.

Too Orwellian True.

I think the riots are a prelude to the crisis necessary for the imposition of martial law so that 0bama and his handlers (Valjar?) can remain in power. Oh, and in the "she told you so" department, watch the lights in NYC. If the power goes out, there will be riots. Look what happened in 1977.

"I don't remember Americans treating each other like this (aside from cops having their dogs chew people up, etc.). Throwing stuff at a woman..."

Were you people not paying attention to the Occupy Movement? Or any of the coverage of "Black Lives Matter" riots? The "protesters" at Trump events have previously been given their green light. And the Marxist Revolutionaries have demonstrated how to do it. Joseph Goebbels would be fascinated of how the US government propaganda machine works so smoothly. Love Mr. T or hate him, there is an awakening.

"How Saul Alinsky Taught Barack Obama Everything He Knows About Civic Upheaval". It's all just part of the plan even though the majority of individuals practicing and carrying out the plan have no idea what they are doing. Left to their current direction, they will destroy our country and our way of life. There will be no hiding from it anywhere in the United States (or anywhere else they follow our current practices). I actually believe that Obama has no real idea where he is taking this country by his decisions and mandates. Even his comments influence those that can't think for themselves.

Basically there are two solutions to put a stop to this and turn this country back around. One is civil war, a real civil war. This is due to the intensity of the division of the people. The other is to elect someone like Donald Trump, someone that will fight the establishment from the top and attempt to do the right thing no matter what.

It's the other side of the statist coin. The more taxpayer money that is wasted on things the government shouldn't be doing, the less taxpayer money is available for government to perform its proper function (protection of lives and property).

Who needs fake Bernie people, when the real ones are doing such a good job on their own? What worries me is that these activities may generate sympathy for Hillary:
