I Think We Are Going To Be In Near Cold Civil War By The Time We Reach 2018.

The despicable, detestable, deplorables are going to be in attack mode going forward. We will be facing a mob of brain dead zombies. Openly protesting will become more risky as time goes on. You can tell by some of the reaction when even the slightest criticism is put forth against Trump or the GOP.

Our country will be in turmoil because we have not yet seen how extreme things might get. Trumpers are demanding "safe space" when they plan to give none to others. We have a nation of demented delusional haters to deal with who are so far removed from reality that in earlier times they would be in a mental hospital.

I really hate feeling this way about the situation. Based on what am seeing it is hard to conclude otherwise. We must protest and persist regardless of the backlash from Trumpers.

I have noticed that anyone who comes out against these goons is attacked ferociously. If you are somewhat famous you really get all the threats. And even if you are just an ordinary person if your criticism gets a lot of exposure on the net you are pursued even in your private life. You personal data is put out and you are targeted even with assassination personally. I have said from the beginning we are dealing with a truly murderous and dangerous mob. And someone is really going to get wounded or killed by these folks.

since Trump just does whatever he wants.

I'm not sure what will set the goons off. If Trump is blocked they may act out.

The cable hosts are being a bit careful. They don't want to be targeted easily. The journalists I follow are blunt.

Plus the neoNazis, militias and KKK element has been reborn and unleashed and now mainstreamed on the country.

The same people who shoved the NSA down our throats, saying we needed it to "keep us safe", are now telling us we shouldn't trust anything they or the CIA say. We are supposed to trust goddamn Vladimir Fucking Putin instead???? What the fuck???? It's lunacy.

Yes. We need to persist, regardless of the backlash. But, as you point out, these people have serious psychiatric issue. A lot of them are also armed, often heavily. Be persistent, but be careful. And, remember that the sane among us far outnumber them. They may be a mob of brain-dead zombies, but they are not a big mob. Just a very loud one.
