It's not a glitch, it's a feature. Trump hopes to incite violence

[spotthebird]

It was his responses to Charlottesville when I realized that he wasn't just a bigot, but he had even more sinister motives than to rally the base with open racial hatred. If the president can't condemn racial violence, then that is tacit support of the act. Charlottesville was supposed to be his Charles Manson moment, it just didn't take off as he hoped.

Many times on Twitter he has encouraged the lemmings to "do something" or hopefully predicted insurrection if he didn't get his way. Given enough time, there isn't much doubt he'd be able to pull it off, but he is accelerating out of panic. He is concerned he won't have time to create anarchy before Muller acts.

Why would he want the government to fall? Because he barely "won" the last election and will not stay in power if it depends on reelection. Then there is also that pesky problem, known as congress. Without them he could realize his vision.

1. Because he can

a president who promotes peace does not have much to show other than peace. Violence is a spectacle that everyone can see - to rump that is power. Having others act our his hatred would please him because they are responding to his direction.

2. He hasn't tried for a mega rally since the Phoenix flop.

The polling may be steady, but the enthusiasm isn't there. We'll see what happens today, but if they could get the masses out, they probably would.

The Muller stress and the realization that he can't even get people to show up, much less attack those who aren't like them must be taking an emotional toll, so he becomes even more inflammatory. When people realize how fucked this tax plan leaves them he'll have even less opportunity to destroy what's left. Even Trump knows that.

3. Chaos is the plan.

9. Anderson Cooper interviewed

the widower of a Member of Parliament whose wife was killed by a member of the extremest group that Trump retweeted. He was as indigent as an Englishman can be that the American president was aiding a right wing terrorist group.

4. It looks like less than 2000 came out for him today

We should all be afraid.

5. I heard somewhere that Twitter sometimes suspends and bans accounts

Is that true, and if so, how are they not taking a good long look at Donald Trump's account? What are Twitter's standards? If you're rich enough or powerful enough or have enough followers, you're unaccountable?

7. They tolerate Trump's lies etc. because

his tweets are "newsworthy". In other words, the rules don't apply to him.

6. Roger Stone

IIRC. Stone was threatening violence if Trump didn't win.

And then there's Bannon who would be perfectly happy about an uprising too.

Both still advise Trump frequently.

8. As well as his invitation to use violence against

protestors during the campaign.

One of today's videos was of two Dutch nationals fighting, no Muslim attack on a Christian. Huckabee Sanders said, "The threat is real, and that's what the president is talking about." So we can imagine any scene of carnage as committed by Muslims, because it's possible?
