Nobody cares about your protest, the post says. Keep your ass out of the road.

DiSanto published that post, which has since been deleted, less than a month after an alleged neo-Nazi used his vehicle to murder a counter-protester and injure 19 others during a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The tactic has also been used by militant groups like ISIS.
DiSantos post largely escaped media scrutiny until this week. But following a number of reports about it, on Tuesday, her employer, Keller Williams Realty, announced it had severed ties with DiSanto, posting on Facebook that ...due to recent events, Lynne Disanto is no longer associated with Keller Williams Realty Black Hills. The post wont immediately affect DiSantos standing in the legislature, however House Majority Leader Lee Qualm (R) told the Associated Press shell stay on as House Majority Whip despite the controversy.
As recently as August 15, Fox News website was home to a page glorifying running over protesters. A video on the page, which was republished from the conservative Daily Caller, was headlined, Heres A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road.

They want protesting to be dangerous so no one does it.
They want us to be docile so they can empty the treasury for their profits.
They don't want us to vote.
They don't want democracy.

Im afraid Peoria Realtor is going to be the first in a long line of Trumpers who will realize, on the other side of firings and divorces and black eyes, that Trumps Teflon Umbrella covers Trump and no one else. His cabinet and staff are going to learn that as well.
