Watch and listen to a couple of minutes of any Trump campaign event and one thing

becomes very apparent very quickly: he is not at the podium to lead a rally and inspire people to vote for him. He is there to incite the mob of his worshipers and encourage the self-styled militiamen in the TV audience to violently intimidate those who may vote against him.

Biden will take away your 2nd amendment freedoms and raise your taxes too.

The man is hopped up on goof balls too.

and had to be moved to different locations since the threats were made public.

And, we are getting reports of others also being threatened with attacks. This is insane and can surely be traced back to Trump's rallies. I've listened to several (just to see what crap he's up to) and he is definitely becoming more inciteful with each one.

What's really scary are the videos of the crowds he's drawing, not only at rallies, but along routes. For example, the crowds in California today. I hope all those people are just curious and not voters.
