Trump supporters chant 'lock her up' at campaign rally

Source: the hill




By Avery Anapol - 12/08/17 08:43 PM EST

...............................

While mocking protestors who call themselves “the resistance” against him, Trump took a jab at Clinton.

“Hillary resisted and you know what happened?” he said. “She lost the election in a landslide.”

“You know what they’re really resisting,” Trump continued. “They’re resisting the will of the American people.”

The crowd then began chanting “lock her up,” echoing chants that were heard at Trump campaign rallies throughout the presidential election. The chant has reoccured at Trump events several times since he took office, typically after Trump takes a shot at his former opponent.

Friday’s rally in Pensacola, Fla. is Trump’s ninth campaign rally since taking office, .....

in an election where we all saw HRC kick his ass from one end of the country to the other, this is kind of scary.

People relentlessly chanting for their former political opponent to be locked up? This is what happens when democracies are giving way to dictatorships.

They will be told their woes are caused by Democrats and they will believe 100%.

No way for them to ever see where their problems come from when they do no investigations themselves and all their 'knowledge' is handed to them by propagandists.

They never will acknowledge how President Obama contributed to bringing the economy back from a precipice. Now when the republicans gut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security they will blame Democrats. What an immoral bunch.

But I believe that a select few of the Trumpkin faithful can come to grips with reality, after reality slaps them around enough. And what with the abomination of a tax code reform coming up and hitting of Medicare and Social Security in the works, some of these cretins will be forced to reconsider their assumptions.

Trump and the Far Right are pushing an agenda that lacks an integral component found in the successful pseudo-populist/authoritarian movements of the last century. The successful ones—Mussolini’s Fascists, Juan Peron in Argentina, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela--all had a social welfare component to benefit his shirt-sleeve followers.

Thump and Ryan DON’T. In fact there agenda is focused on taking AWAY welfare-state benefits that their middle class and working class supporters rely on. Trump’s appeal will head south at the first recession. I think it is highly likely, perhaps as soon as next year, that a lot of Trumpkins will take their advanced-track “getting of wisdom” lessons because Trump and Ryan left a huge gap that Benito, Hugo, and Juan would have plugged.

When trump is removed many of these same people will take up arms against us, they are treasonous bastards. We will have to 'lock them up' by the hundreds of thousands. It's unfortunate but we're going to have to a HUGE mess to clean up and these stupid rednecks will be nothing but trouble when we take our country back.

Every trump voter is complicit in the theft of a Presidential election, every trump voter is a traitor. We live in a nation where 60 million citizens betrayed their country.
When the day of reckoning arrives, and it will arrive soon, many of these traitors will protest or take up arms. They are owed nothing more than one warning, surrender completely, give up your arms, cooperate and accept your punishment, if you resist, you, your families and your wealth and livelihood will be destroyed.
The political landscape will be forever changed, the repukes will have to clean house, for them it may be too late to even exist as a political party. I foresee the moderates leaving and becoming Democrats. Those left that supported trump will be dealt with harshly, political careers will be over and many will be jailed or exiled.

Trump spent over 60 minutes talking at rally on Alabama border and mentioned Hillary Clinton more than Roy Moore
SARAH K. BURRIS
08 DEC 2017 AT 21:30 ET



President Donald Trump began his Pensacola, Florida political rally, touting “his” success of the economy and trade. His speech was expected to target potential voters for Alabama Republican Roy Moore — but he barely mentioned Moore’s name in remarks that lasted over an hour.

Trump made a back-handed comment about the Moore accusers, some of whom are represented by Gloria Allred. He blasted her, claiming, “every time you see her you know something is going on.”

Rather than focusing on Moore, Trump chose to denounce Democratic opponent Doug Jones, who the president said would be a puppet for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Trump, whose party holds an overwhelming majority in the House and a smaller majority in the Senate said that he needed more Republicans in office who will support his policies.

Moore, however, has spent a lot of time attacking Trump for supporting another candidate in the race. At the end of the tirade, Trump said simply, “Vote for Roy Moore.”

I just could not bring myself to watch one minute of it. I wanted to keep my dinner down.

tRump has had a rough few weeks and probably needed the pep rally to give his sagging ego a boost. He is pathetic in every way. He is so needy and desperate, he uses an orchestrated rally of fans too deluded themselves to know they have been bamboozled, conned and misled by their so-called hero. They don’t take much coaching. The Lock Her Up chant was probably prompted by cue cards held up by a staffer or by buzz words he used.

He is busy trying to poison the well so when Mueller releases his report or starts indictments going up the line all the way to tRump himself, he hopes no one will believe it. I just hope and pray that the citizens of this country are fed up with his BS and are ready for some truth for a change. I know there will be a small core who refuse to give up on him, but please let there be a bigger group of us who are more than ready for him to be gone from the Oval Office and LOCKED UP.
