Trump & Base For That Matter Care NOT If Blood Is On Their Hands.

Expect the Trump rallies to get more raucous and hateful as we near the November elections. Expect Trump to be even more unhinged. They are angry and know not why or who. They just want to strike out. No matter the leader they follow is deranged and a fool.

" ... s an utterance attributed to Henry II of England, which led to the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While it was not expressed as an order, it caused four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket.

The phrase is now used to express the idea that a ruler's wish can be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. "

If they don't, their job will be twice as hard. Our nation is set-up fundamentally to enforce the laws already on the books. EVERYDAY we live with the fear some crazy sum bum is going to start shooting.
We can't live in fear of what someone MAY do. It's the cost of freedom. True freedom. Sometimes we get punched in the gut. Try not to be that person, and lets let the chips fall where they may. This is a historical anomaly in America. This is the beginning of the end for them. (gop/alt.right)

He continues: “I don’t carry an AR but once we start shooting you f—ers you aren’t going to pop off like you do now. You’re worthless, the press is the enemy of the United States people and, you know what, rather than me shoot you, I hope a Mexican and, even better yet, I hope a n— shoots you in the head, dead.”

He repeats the racial slur 10 times in a staccato rhythm, concluding with the send-off: “Have a nice day, n— lover.”

The right wing authoritarian viewpoint has always had a role for violent enforcers of their desired social order, be it state police or lynch mobs or gang rapists.

They want -- no, they're practically drooling for -- the blood of "others" to flow do that we are cowed into submitting to their view of the social order.

In fact one of the requirements to join the Proud Boys is to beat the shit out of an Antifa supporter and the more you fight, the higher up you move in the ranks! So they encourage it!

That's why they speak in semi violent overtones and look for any excuse to brandish their precious killing machines in public. A few dead here or there? Doesn't matter, it's collateral damage to them. It helps strengthen their numbers.
