When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
– John Lennon
Punches and eggs.
Those are the two words that keep repeating over and over in the numerous articles I’ve read describing the mindless violence inflicted upon Trump supporters in San Jose, California last night. What’s worse, these protesters have undoubtably given Trump a huge boost in public perception.
The violence exhibited by some Trump protesters yesterday evening was so barbaric and so obviously unnecessary and indecent, my first thought was that it had to be Trump operatives who arranged the whole thing. That’s how senselessly counterproductive their actions were.
Ultimately, public perception matters a lot, which is why politicians spend virtually all of their energy managing it. Despite the twisted and corrupt nature of our political system, the fact of the matter remains that there will be an election in November 2016, and Donald Trump will be on the top of the Republican ticket. If your goal is to deal with this reality and defeat him, the last thing you want to do is make him and his supporters look good in front of the entire planet. Yet that’s exactly what these mindless imbeciles did. For the first time in this election cycle, they made Trump and his supporters look decent and upstanding, particularly compared to some of their opponents.
This is of huge importance. Personally, I think Trump’s statement about Mexicans in the beginning of the campaign was disgusting and inexcusable. It’s one of the many reasons I cannot and will not vote for the man (for more see, May Registrations for the Libertarian Party Jump 20-Fold). That said, saying extremely offensive things and violently attacking American citizens attending a political rally are not in the same ballpark. They aren’t even in the same galaxy — and I’m not the only one who thinks that.
As Americans sit down at their computer screens and smartphones over the weekend, they will respond with shock and horror to the images from San Jose. For some of them, their impressions of Trump and his supporters will improve materially. A certain percentage of these people will now be far more inclined to vote for Trump come November. If Trump protesters wanted to create an event that could make California competitive in the general election, they should be patting themselves on the back right now.
To prove my point, how do you think most Americans are going to react when they read the following, say from the Washington Post:
SAN JOSE, Calif. —Protests outside a Donald Trump rally in downtown San Jose spun out of control Thursday night when some demonstrators attacked the candidate’s supporters.
Protesters jumped on cars, pelted Trump supporters with eggs and water balloons, snatched signs and stole “Make America Great” hats off supporters’ heads before burning the hats and snapping selfies with the charred remains.
Several people were caught on camera punching Trump supporters. At least one attacker was arrested, according to CNN, although police did not release much information.
Trump supporters were surrounded and, in several cases, attacked as they left the rally.
In one incident captured on camera, a Trump supporter was struck hard over the side of the head as he was walking away from a group of protesters. The attack left him with blood streaming down his head and onto his shirt.
“I was walking out with a Trump sign and he grabbed my Trump sign, saying I was like a racist and stuff,” the man told bystanders and local media. “Then he followed me, like, spit on me.”
The Trump supporter said all he had done was chant the candidate’s name before trying to walk away.
Here’s what he looked like after:
Another Trump supporter was also bloodied after being attacked, his shirt torn almost completely off his body. Videos circulating on social media showed swirling, furious fights spilling from street corner to street corner, often with no police in sight.
“Often with no police in sight.” Remember that later when you see some of the mayor’s comments.
Marcus DiPaola, a freelance photographer following the Trump campaign, posted video of someone getting punched violently in the face.
At times, protesters began to fight among themselves. In one instance, two female protesters pleaded for nonviolence while trying to protect a Trump supporter from an angry crowd. Despite their efforts, someone snatched the Trump supporter’s hat.
A handful of the bright red “Make America Great Again” hats were set on fire by protesters, who then snapped photos of the scene or hung the charred hats from street signs.
Perhaps the most jarring scene was that of a young female Trump supporter being attacked by a crowd of protesters.
In multiple videos of the incident, the woman initially appeared to be happily posing in her Trump football jersey in front of the mostly male protesters, some of whom can be heard whistling and shouting at her.
Then an anonymous arm rises over the crowd and tosses an egg at the woman, striking her in the head and eliciting howls and laughter from the crowd.
A second later, a red water balloon bursts against the woman’s arm.
Suddenly, another projectile strikes her hard in the face. Eventually, someone comes to help her and, after she indicates that she is having trouble seeing, she is ushered back inside the convention center.
This is what the woman looked when all was said and done.
Or how do you think the following will play to the American public, via NBC Bay Area:
Donald Trump supporters leaving the presumptive GOP nominee’s rally in San Jose on Thursday were pounced by protesters, some of whom threw punches and eggs.
The protesters chased and taunted Trump’s supporters outside the San Jose Convention Center. They surrounded one woman and threw eggs and bottles at her.
“It was unbelievable,” said Steve Tong, a Cupertino resident who attended the Trump rally.
Tong said after the rally, he was walking toward a nearby parking structure and saw protesters surrounding and taunting an elderly couple.
“I’ve never seen anything like that in America before,” Tong said.
Tong also said he saw protesters smash car windows inside the parking structure.
Now listen to the incredibly irresponsible statement made by San Jose mayor, Sam Liccardo.
The mayor, a Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, criticized Trump for coming to cities and igniting problems that local police departments had to deal with.
“At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign,” Liccardo said.
Just in case you still don’t think these protesters are playing right into Donald Trump’s little hands, see the following from USA Today:
Inside the rally, Trump was heckled by a protester in the crowd. Trump told the crowd not to worry about it.
“Let him enjoy himself…we need our protesters,” he added. “We’ve got to be nice.”
This message runs contrary to what Trump has said at previous rallies, including one in November when attendees kicked a Black Lives Matter activist (Trump said, “Maybe he should have been roughed up.”)
This time, Trump told the crowd, “I’ve learned. Don’t hurt him.”
Well done morons, you just achieved the impossible. You gave Donald Trump and his supporters the moral high ground.
Finally, in case you missed them. Here are three of the more disturbing videos from the protests.
In Liberty,

no matter who you vote for in this election, it is our right as American citizens , to listen to speeches of all candidates. The ultimate goal of these outrageous morons is to stop people from voting for Trump. What they are doing is just the opposite. My rights as a citizen cannot be trod on by idiots. They would have to kill me to stop me from voting for Trump. You are right, I wasn’t a Trump supporter until I saw what happened and after seeing what that idiot Mayor had to say. Sure swayed me. Thank you protestors you did a wonderful job looking like the monsters and thugs that you really are. Who paid you? Hillary, Bernie, or Moveon.org or George Soros organizations. You should all be ashamed.
well, there is one thing…. sanders would never have paid anyone to do such a thing but it has been practiced throughout history to disrupt a rally for a cause and paid for by the same side for a purpose.
And you ain’t seen nothing yet…that’s only an appetizer of what sorts of social disturbances are awaiting to Donald Trump if he becomes president…and law enforcement (including the military) are not prepared to cope with such levels of social unrest… Trump’s advisers and financiers are doing a superb job accelerating the Balkanization of America.
How did these protesters “give” Trump supporters the moral high ground when you can’t give away something that you never possessed?!
In the minds of the public. This post is primarily about discussing public perception and it’s impact on the election.
I am decent and upstanding, Michael.
Trump is simply the best that is on offer.
You are a big disappointment.
Agreed.
I enjoyed reading your article but unfortunately you are also guilty of misconstruing Mr. Trump’s widely misconstrued comments about Mexican criminals being part of the illegal immigrant flow. He made the comments during the speech announcing his candidacy and his exact words were: “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” I have the perspective of having raised two boys in Sacramento during the ganged-up years of the 1990s. One of my sons was forced into a Latino gang against his will and the ultimate consequences were dire. I also lived in Michoacan, Mexico during 2009-2013 and talked with many Mexicans about the problems with the cartels. They told me the cartels force young men into the gangs under threats of raping their sisters and killing their parents. These young men have no choice but to join. The Mexicans told me that the cartels force young men into the gangs both inside the USA and Mexico. Sadly, many of the young men seeking a better life in the USA by entering illegally will inevitably wind up working for the cartels and adopting these groups’ values of rape, murder, torture and extortion. Mr. Trump is not a racist; he is a realist. Anyone who grew up in metropolitan New York area, as I did, knows that native New Yorkers like Mr. Trump are by and large not racists. New York is the original “melting pot” and New Yorkers got used to living with diversity a long time before it became trendy. Mr. Trump simply wants to end the Mexican cartels’ influence on this side of the border and curtailing illegal immigration is an essential part of his strategy. The Mexican government, corrupt to its core, is doing nothing to stem the cancerous power of the cartels and in many cases is abetting it. That’s a fact that is well known among Mexicans in Mexico.
Hi and thanks for your comment.
For the record, I grew up in NYC and spent 28 years of my life there. I also didn’t say Trump was a racist, nor did I misconstrue what he said.
What he did in that statement about illegal Mexican immigrants was divisive and hateful. That’s what I object to. Even if he doesn’t mean what he says, I think it is unethical to use such tactics to become popular or rile people up. It’s that simple for me.
In any event, that’s not the main reason I can’t vote for him. I can’t, because my core issue is civil liberties and the Constitution and Trump could care less about those things.
We will have to agree to disagree, Michael, because as the Anglo husband of a native-born Colombian and the father of two young Colombian-American sons I see absolutely nothing “divisive” about Trump’s wanting to protect Latino and White young men on this side of the border from the predatory Mexican cartels and the corrupt Mexican government that protects them.
I completely understand the angst and concerns people have about uncontrolled illegal immigration. I am not arguing about that.
I’m saying Trump intentionally demonized them as a group, thus making decent people feel attacked, and that was not necessary to prove a point about immigration.
My mother is Chilean fyi.
oh no !!!! Trump called some people a bad name…. Divisive ?…. Hateful ?…Really ? Sounds like something an establishment shill would say. Seems this administration has bad names for all Americans who disagree with their policies or sic the IRS on them. How many wars did Donald start ???? But Mike is above all this because Trump is a meanie…OH noooooo….Who signs your paychecks Mike ?
Too funny how for some people “disagreement” means some outside manipulative force signs my paycheck.
Since you think you’re on to something I challenge you to prove that some outside manipulative force signs my paychecks. I beg you to try because you’ll waste your already delusion filled life looking for something that isn’t there.
Back up your claim tough guy.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least what these illegal Mexicans did. Mexico is not a friend to the U.S. and never has been. They’re only here to steal what they can. Good for Donald Trump for having the nerve to be honest about what’s going on in today’s world instead of being a slave to idiotic political correctness, which by the way isn’t the least bit ‘correct’.
Mike, you made my point for me. You ignored my statement about “new speak “…”Divisive and Hateful”… which is spoken by every liberal talking-head in TV land and focus on a tongue-cheek-comment, “who signs your paycheck” with some pretty hateful and divisive language. But…it seems that I hit a nerve.
Of course you hit a nerve. You accused me of taking outside money, and that this outside money is influencing my writing and opinions. As a writer and thinker there is no bigger insult imaginable. And you can’t call it “tongue and cheek” after the fact I called you out on it. Many, many people really are funded by outside influence groups, and you know that as well as anyone. You’ve never commented here before, and your first comment was deliberately intended to put doubt in people’s mind about my credibility by writing what you knew to be an outright lie. Differences of opinions are welcome here, knowingly inventing stories about people and their intentions is not.
But to your “point.” Characterizing Mexican illegal immigrants as a group as the “worst” and rapists is obviously divisive and hateful. If I need to explain why, then you need more help than I thought and are not worth engaging with since you are clearly just trolling. But to explain what I mean, if your issue is illegal immigration I can totally respect that. I’m saying you don’t need to demonize all of them in the way Trump did. All he has to say is “I believe in the law and they broke the law and should go.” That’s all he needed to say, but he intentionally threw out red meat to rile people up and appeal to their worse instincts. This is blatantly obvious.
But that’s only a small slice of why I cannot support Trump. The other is that he could care less about civil liberties and the Constitution. Two examples:

Me and you are done. Go troll another website.
I watched the same thing on local news when Trump came to Costa Mesa. Protesters waving Mexican flags while jumping up and down on police cars, breaking the windshields. My first thought – “God these people are so dumb it’s a wonder the made it past their 16th birthday”.
Dude, you stepped in it, just bone up to it. Right, like you’re going to waste your vote in protest to a loser in the Libertarian Party. Just because it says Libertarian Party doesn’t mean they support Liberty anymore than the Constitution Party. I’ve been through them both and its a waste of time. We just have to transcend parties… that’s what Trump has done and he’s our best hope. The key is to educate him because he doesn’t know. Hey big surprise, almost nobody does, but we’ll be changing that soon. The real key Michael is the Congress. Take the Congress back and its game over, we win.
Another thing, if not directly, indirectly you accuse Trump of wanting to establish an “Imperial Presidency”. Dude, Reagan did that and it hasn’t gotten any better and I’d say Trump is the anti-thesis of “Imperial”. A brat? Yes. Spoiled? Maybe. A bully? You bet. And EGO? Who doesn’t that has ever run for President (OK, besides French)? The Imperial Presidency was formalized with the Office of Regulatory Affairs (Orwell?) that consolidated every usurped power of Congress (the People) into the White House.
I’ll share with you my man, check out electanewcongress.com and scienceofliberty.us. They need updating really bad but I’ve got video podcasts coming out pronto and the key is to get everyone to use Liberty Legislation as their litmus test for any candidate that wants our vote and allow Americans to vote as a block to OVERTHROW THIS GOVT LEGALLY AND PEACEFULLY, AND INSTALL A STATE OF LIBERTY AND ITS DAILY OPERATING SYSTEM.
It’s so easy it will blow your mind.
Cheers,
Bill
Mike, Voltaire famously said, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will die defending your right to say it.” Clearly none of these protestors have ever read Voltaire – or the Constitution – or the Bill of Rights….yet you support them by dividing the vote by suggesting people vote “Libertarian”, when the world knows all this does is hand HRC the election. Donald Trump is not a professional politician, but he cares deeply about America and Americans, unlike HRC who is simply a cold-blooded murder…and a vote for a Libertarian is a vote for her and by your ‘protest’ vote, you hand the US to the poverty pimps who support these anti-Trump thugs and criminals.
I’m not a big fan of Donald Trump. His loud mouth, boorish behavior and self promotion truly turns me off. In spite of this, he’s far more attractive to me than another helping of Democrat and GOP pandering to those who add absolutely nothing to be my country and who, in fact, are working to destroy it.
I’m not voting for Trump as much as I am voting against this parasitic brand of evil. This is not where a person is from, what he or she looks like or how they choose to worship. It is about an entitlement mentality…about a mindset that only worries about self. It is about a worldview that says it’s okay to take without putting anything in. Have some of these people been abused by the system? Of course they have. The system sucks. It exploits. It uses. It shreds. But there’s a way to beat the system and this isn’t it.
Not that any of these people care about any of that. Their minds are incapable of understanding what they’re doing. The Sam Liccardos of the world are another story. I could seethe, but why? This clown just ordered up a Mack truck full of steaming karma, and it’s going to be fun watching it find him. My job is to keep my nose clean and my powder dry. I live right. I’ll be okay. These people? They’ll get exactly what they claim to want.
I agree fully with the last part — and believe that one will not even need the (gun) powder.
Mike, you sound like a child with your comments about “Trump’s comments about Mexicans”. Trump said the MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS SENDING US THEIR WORST, not a comment of the “Mexicans”. This was the same thing that happened in the 1970’s with the Mariel boat lift. The incidents all over America at these rally’s proves his point. We are in a fight for America and we are losing by a mile. The main reason is that Americans don’t want to face the facts. If we play by these silly childish rules that have been forced on us by slick propagandists, we will lose. Trump is the first of many more to come and people like you are so married to the past that you can’t see the future.
I agree that we are in a fight for America. I disagree that the main culprit is illegal Mexican immigrants.
I’d start with Wall Street bank executives and war profiteers. Childish, I know.
The cause is as obvious as the solution!
These protesters are third-world people who’s average IQs are 1sd below Europeans. They are intellectually challenged! Compliant to mental manipulation and lacking the luxury of rational thought and presentation, they respond with anger and destruction much like a spoiled child to things that they might perceive, incorrectly or otherwise, as unpleasant.
Unfortunately, unlike children who mellow with presentations of folderols these adults need economic subsidies to behave, though begrudgingly, in a European society.
Donald Trump has the solutiuon!
Michael said, “I’d start with Wall Street bank executives and war profiteers.”
So, yes. The wall street banksters have changed the US into an Oligarchy. Those oligarchs have taken away what little voice the people that appear in the videos that you provided had, and then they proceeded to steal any wealth and opportunity as well. They have left those young men with no money, no hope, no future, and most important, no voice.
For those of us that have time and money to surf the blogosphere like all of my fellow readers, or actually write blogs like Mr. Kreiger it is very difficult to identify with someone like that. Problem is, people like that (not just brown people, but black ones and others) are a very large minority or the majority. Try for just a minute to have some empathy (a challenge that I must direct mostly to Buddha’s Student). When I put myself in their shoes – if I was one of them – I would wear a mask. Other than that, they appear to be doing the only thing available.
Perhaps, you expect them to vote for HRC, or Trump. Or do you just expect them to keep taking it?
To those who think illegal immigration over the southern border isn’t as big a problem as corrupt bankers (who are the ones behind the open borders movement), I refer you to “DEA Report Shows Infiltration of Mexican Drug Cartels in Major US Cities” (link below). How exactly do you propose to stem the tide of the drugs and gangsters if not with a wall? Legalization of all drugs would work, but that’s never going to happen as long as prohibitionist Baby Boomer women — the biggest prohibitionist voting block — are still allowed to vote.

Wow…
Just fuckin’…. WOW.
Does Krieger f*cking miss the point – moreover, he doubles down on being a cuck.
Da f*ck you talkin’ bout, B?
I’ll show you:
“Punches and eggs.
Those are the two words that keep repeating over and over in the numerous articles I’ve read describing the mindless violence inflicted upon Trump supporters in San Jose, California last night. What’s worse, these protesters have undoubtably given Trump a huge boost in public perception.”
What an idiot.
The violence was not “mindless” – it was not spontaneous. It was directed and very likely pre-arranged.
The Left’s street thugs and goons have always used violence to get their way.
Why? Because they know that there will be ZERO f*cking response from “the authorities” – because “the authorities” are sympathetic and recognize that having an army of goons to inflict on the public – that they can disavow at the drop of a hat – is a right handy thing to have around.
In point of fact, the MAYOR of San Jose blamed TRUMP for instigating the violence instead of the fucking MEXICAN GOONS who were the ones actually beating on people. He even went so far as to recall the police and ordered them to do nothing.
Did the Governor call out the National Guard when it became known that the cops were off the job?
Nope. Governor Brown did exactly Jack Sh*t. And Jack left town.
So who were these goons in the streets? It’s not difficult to follow the bread crumbs, and I can make an educated guess – they were probably foot soldiers of La Raza, being as this kind of intimidation is found south of the border almost anywhere you go.
And that La Raza has been partially legitimized because our Traitor-in-Thief invited La Raza’s Fearless Leader to the White House not long ago…
“Mindless”? No. Organized, intentional and directed.
That it blew up in their faces and their efforts ended up working FOR Trump only goes to show the low IQ’s of those directing this mob…
The violence exhibited by some Trump protesters yesterday evening was so barbaric and so obviously unnecessary and indecent, my first thought was that it had to be Trump operatives who arranged the whole thing. That’s how senselessly counterproductive their actions were.
We get it, Krieger – you’re an Establishment Cuck and you hate Trump. Which is why your ADMITTED default setting when you see a bunch of violent Mexicans and other illegal trash is – to blame the white guy.
Yeah. F*ck you.
And, once again, the violence was not “barbaric” and “unnecessary” and “indecent”…. it was intentional, it was directed and it was aided and abetted by the Mayor and the Governor through their inaction…
What it was NOT, was “effective”…
And where the f*ck have you been? Like I said before, the Left has ALWAYS used violence in the streets – instigated by them – to get what they want. It’s a hallmark of theirs.
And you’re acting like this is a NEW f*ckin’ thing? Anyone who has bothered to pay attention to history knows this, Krieger… Maybe it’s new to you. I dunno.
“This is of huge importance. Personally, I think Trump’s statement about Mexicans in the beginning of the campaign was disgusting and inexcusable. It’s one of the many reasons I cannot and will not vote for the man.”
“LOOK! LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH OF A “NOT RAAAAYCCISSSS!” I AM!
I won’t DARE speak the unvarnished, unpopular truth because I’m so much of a NOT RAAAYCISS!. I’ll let my country drown under a tidal wave of illegal trash, let our population – especially our women – be preyed upon, beaten, murdered, raped, kidnapped… might as well throw in CHILDREN because the age of consent in Mexico is f*cking 12 YEARS OLD… but I will condemn Trump for being a Big Old Meanie and a RAAAYCISSS for speaking what the rest of us already know.
I will literally let my country be destroyed, but I won’t utter anything anyone could point at as RAAAAYCISSS!… ”
Why is that?
Because you’re a f*cking CUCKOLD, Krieger. You’ll literally stand there and watch the rest of us get F*CKED, but you won’t speak the goddamned truth because the people who are F*CKING US might get angry about it…
And you’re genuinely clueless why those of us on the alt-right despise and loathe you cucks so much…
It’s because of sh*t like that, Krieger. Grow a f*cking pair. Be a g*ddamned MAN for once in your life. Sack up, son – you’re an embarrassment. Those illegal f*ckers are laughing at us and it’s because of spineless little weasels like YOU.
And the rotten cherry on top of this pile of sh*t you call an article is that you backstop your pile of sh*t with a citation from… wait for it… wait for it… .waaaaaaiiit……
WaPo!
Probably the most left-leaning “mainstream” media outlet in the US.
There are no words. None.
Summer of ’16 is shaping up to be a good one, sports fans…. the Left has learned they can deploy their street goons and illegal trash en masse and there will not only be ZERO blowback from “the authorities”, but they will even aid and abet them by withdrawing “the cops” and doing literally NOTHING to protect our own citizen’s Right To Assembly.
That means that a bunch of fucking illegal Mexicans and other assorted illegal trash ARE MORE IMPORTANT than our own citizenry.
People realize this. I would love to see the right post up their own street thugs and goons to counter the illegal Mexican goons in the streets… which, now that I think about it, just might happen.
Yep… gonna be a real interesting summer.
NB Hey Krieger? Who the hell walks around with full water balloons and cartons of eggs in downtown San Jose?
What you should be asking is WHO organized these street thugs and goons – these low IQ illegal goobers couldn’t plan their way out of a wet paper bag, much less organize an ambush like this – and it completely WAS an ambush. Planned, coordinated and executed by someone….
But, I guess it’s easier to blame Trump than bell the cat… some SJW might “trigger” and point fingers, howling RAAAAYCISS!!
The only reason I approved the above comment is to show readers what a Donald Trump troll looks like. I do understand why many people turn to Trump, but it’s people like this who give Trump supporters such a horrible name.
The person above never commented on the site before, so it’s not as if he’s a reader and has a clue about what I’ve been doing for almost a decade now in defense of liberty. I don’t stand up for politicians, I stand up for liberty. There’s a huge difference but it takes more than a single digit IQ level to grasp this.
The person above immediately resorts to name calling. He is clearly unstable, probably on an entire cocktail of pharmaceuticals when he wrote this, or drunk. He’s so angry you can almost envision the veins popping out his neck and eyes bulging like a lunatic.
Even worse, he is either so inherently unintelligent he didn’t understand my post, or he didn’t read it at all.
For example, he says I “blame the white guy” for what the protesters did. Of course, I did nothing of the sort. He also discusses the irresponsible behavior of the mayor, as if I didn’t discuss that in the post in the first place.
He tells me “to be a man.” Of course, we all know that anonymously commenting like a unhinged raging lunatic on a blog post is how one demonstrates masculinity. Then again, since he didn’t even read the post, the guy is probably just a troll and has such a empty, unfulfilled life this is the only way he can feel good about himself.
Sad!
Go ahead and call me a troll. I agree with some of what Billy said. I mostly disagree with the tone. I am not high, I have a high IQ, and I am college educated.
I am not offended by what by what Trump has said about illegal aliens. I never interpreted that statement that all were criminals or rapists.
I also am not offended about him wanting to limit Muslims into the country. Only I think it is impractical. How do we know they are Muslims, ask them? I am for restricting people from predominately Muslim nations.
I also believe we do not have to build a wall. Cutting off government assistance to illegals would be a good start.
If people are looking for a reason to think of someone as a racist, they will find it. And if you call someone a racist, it sticks. It is hard to prove you are a racist once you get that label.
He has been know for decades. At anytime before this campaign was he known as a racist? No, because now it is convenient politically to do so.
Now, Blacks hate him. And for what? What did he say about Blacks? Blacks are being told he is racist and that is enough.
I have heard of one on You tube that wants to kill him because he believes Trump will take away his food stamps. But, I have not even heard that from him.
What you and leftists (not saying you are one) are missing is that the race card does not work anymore.
BTW, I too have Libertarian leanings, but I am voting for Trump. The biggest issues I care about align with Trump. There are trade policy, immigration enforcement, and decreasing foreign interventions
Thanks for commenting in a polite and decent manner. This is how disagreement is done well.
“And if you call someone a racist, it sticks”
That’s How They Shut Down The Conversation – Call You Names – Racists – Conspiracy Theorists, Anti-Semite, Etc, Etc.
You Know They Are CONTROLLED OPPOSITION When They Do That.

If you vote for Hillary and she is elected then, there will be a war. Trump is the least worst option.
Agree. The most appealing thing about Trump is he says our foreign interventions, including the wars, were wrong. Ironically to most people, the anti-war movement is in the Republican party.
God bless America. Protect us from all that would harm us: violence, bigotry, hateful speech, greedy bankers, the Mexican cartels and those who would hide from the truth. What does the foul mouthed response of a former Mexican president and violent goons help us to understand about Trump? What does the State Department IG report help us understand about HRC? Ultimately, it is the Truth and nothing but the Truth, so help us God, that will help us be free. Keep up the good work seekers of the Truth.
My wife does not like Trump. Oh well, at least she does not spit in my face when she sees me.
