Would Not Be Surprised To See Protesters Attacked, Maced, Arrested Et Al At Behest Of GOP.

I think the real teeth of the GOP will come out now that they are giddy with power. Just by the reaction of the GOP, Trump supporters, RW media and Trump himself even to the slightest criticism, I would almost bet on it. Their attitude and demeanor looks ominous. And I am sure the GOP is furious about what backlash they have already gotten at the various town halls. Look for police and security guards at future GOP town halls and events.

I know I have been criticized for being over the top in the past. I hope I am wrong. Yet when I see GOPPERS in public they send signals that they won't be challenged.

With this GOP anything is possible.

to harm protesters.

Police will be given WIDE leeway now when it comes to harming Americans, that much is for sure.

You are not only not overreacting, if anything you need to also start mentioning what Trump will do when someone shows him how war is profitable.

The lack of a blind trust alone is amazing, that this whole country is not going nuts. Do you realize what he will do now when he can start wars or block countries to profit himself?

Jesus fucking christ people, this is INSANE.

It is not just Indiana trying to pass laws allowing violence against protesters. And let's be open about that. When you add the idea that feeling can be charged you give the police permission to act by whatever means.

When their own constituents start losing their homes, dying, maybe something changes, not until then

Just die. All of them. They hate everyone who is not white, rich, and male. I cannot stand to be around anyone so regressive anymore, it's exhausting. I feel like people's rights are actively being taken away and these assholes are celebrating knowing they are in power again

Is Donald Trump--cracks me up. Republicans are dinosaurs, and their party is just about dead. Watching Trump is like watching agonal mouth breathing.

The dumbasses love him too--or they pretend they do.
