Democrats taken us into unprecedented territory?


The Democrats and the Obama Administration set the current precedent that has played out since Trump was elected. They still refuse to accept Trump's Presidency. And yea, Republicans don't like Obama but I think many acknowledge that his team ran 2 well managed campaigns along with considerable help from a compliant liberal progressive media.

November 10th:
quote:

Protests were reported in cities as diverse as Dallas and Oakland and included marches in Boston; Chicago; Portland, Ore.; Seattle and Washington and at college campuses in California, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

quote:

In Oakland alone, the Police Department said, the crowd grew from about 3,000 people at 7 p.m. to 6,000 an hour later. The situation grew tense late Wednesday, with SFGate.com reporting that a group of protesters had started small fires in the street and broken windows. Police officers in riot gear were called in, and at least one officer was injured

quote:

One of the biggest demonstrations was in Los Angeles, where protesters burned a Trump effigy at City Hall and shut down a section of Highway 101.

quote:

After Mr. Trump’s victory speech, more than 2,000 students at the University of California, Los Angeles, marched through the streets of the campus’s Westwood neighborhood.

There were similar protests at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles; University of California campuses in Berkeley, San Diego and Santa Barbara; Temple University, in Philadelphia; and the University of Massachusetts.

Now lets skip to inauguration day:
quote:

Six police officers were injured and 217 protesters arrested Friday after a morning of peaceful protests and coordinated disruptions of Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony gave way to ugly street clashes in downtown Washington.

quote:

"Pepper spray and other control devices were used to control the criminal actors and protect persons and property," police said.
Anti-Trump protests also broke out Friday in US cities, including New York, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago and Portland, Oregon. Authorities in Seattle say one person was in critical condition at a hospital with a gunshot wound. Demonstrations also took place overseas in Hong Kong, Berlin and London.


quote:

The anti-Trump protests extended well beyond water's edge, with rallies popping up in Australia, London, Hong Kong and Berlin -- where demonstrators held a sign that read, "Walls divide." In the West Bank, Palestinians protested against Israeli settlements and Trump's plan to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
In Sydney, anti-Trump protesters and Trump supporters spilled into the city's streets Saturday to protest the US President.
Thousands of people attended a Women's March in Martin Place in the central part of the city. Event organizers claimed nearly 5,000 people attended the march, but Sydney police estimate that the number was closer to 3,000.
Chants from the crowd included "women united will never be defeated" and "when women's rights are under attack, what do we do, stand up fight back."

You tell me

'The squeaky wheel gets the oil'. Libs are louder because liked a spoiled child, they think it will get them what they want.

Even so - both Groups in full realization of the Ideological import of which Party/Principle holds the reigns of power - the Right were and are less overtly outraged/outrageous because the Right always held the option of ARMED revolt as a failsafe. Many gunned up; and therein the Left's realization that 'gun control' and the Idea of God-given 2nd Amendment Rights had to go. The Left failed at crashing the economy and taking over Healthcare, and getting everybody on (equal) Government Welfare; the Right got education...and therein Trump Nation/Trump.

So, given that the Left could never mount the kind of violent reactionary force that the Right can; especially given that the Military leans Right, the Left chooses and must choose, the Democratic/Demographic version of "fundamental transformation", I.e., via Open Border Policy.

The Left plays the hand they are holding; if their folk could win a shooting revolt...they would have started one. The smart Dems know this, the dupes and useful idiots in the street don't. But would learn pretty quick into a scrap.

Hope and pray that high tech and time can heal the social sickness, lest Mother Nature's Law does.

Not really. repubs were against the policies that obama was trying to implement due to the fact that they would cause significant damage.

libtards hate on Trump because it's all they know and regurgitating is much simpler than actually looking at the results. When the left starting hating on Barron, I knew that there was no hope for regressives.

The irony of the "Love Trumps Hate" thing, where is this love they speak of? Maybe I need to get my eyes checked out but I just don't see it.

Pape chaired a public meeting this spring and invited a U.S. Army Special Operations Command spokesman to answer questions about Jade Helm. The meeting drew more than 150 people carrying signs that read “No Gestapo in Bastropo,” “Keep America Free” and “Dissent is Not a Conspiracy Theory.” Some asked whether the Army was bringing in Islamic State fighters, if the United Nations would be involved, and whether the military was planning to relieve local gun owners of their firearms.


Remember this wacko stuff? Has the left protested over such a ridiculous conspiracy theory?

And did the Republicans fan the flames or act to calm people down?

quote:

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has ordered the Texas State Guard to “monitor” Jade Helm 15. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a Republican presidential hopeful, has said he understands “the reason for concern and uncertainty, because .?.?.the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration.”
