Expect Brutal Attacks From RW When Protests Begins. Civil War Of Sorts.

Trump is signaling that he and his followers helped by the GOP will go after any protesters. It could get ugly like what happened to Occupy with the police and security involved. I worry we are entering a new era where protest will be dealt with in a different than if has before. What happened in Ferguson could be an example.

The "fake news" strategy to make real news irrelevant is a bad omen. Our country is faced for a kind of turmoil that we have not seen in a long time. Today's press shows how really crazy Trump is. It was well staged in a place where he had a lot of supporters to intimidate the reporters. The CNN incident is just the beginning.

I guess he intends to fake reality for the rest of us until we comply.

Buses can't go near the site. The protesters are dependent on the Metro and other public transportation. Easy enough to interfere with. We know O'Keefe was trying to pay people to disrupt.

I am truly worried about the clever subterfuge. The possibility of violence is too scary to even contemplate.

because I think that is the future reality under Trump. And I think it will get down to state and local levels to a much lesser extent, but it will be there.

Almost all the violence has been perpetrated against Trump supporters. From the riots in California and Chicago to the torture of a disabled Trump supporter, get the house in order before worrying about others.
