That the rich enclaves have their fair share of destruction. They want to hide out in their gated communities while the cities burn

5. It makes sense...

This is what was coming, (from Predator Grumps own words in the past) all along, one way or another.

So, Blackshirts, Brownshirts and now Orangeshirts. They don't have to be wearing that color, it is symbolic and representative. Red Hats is another appropriate term as is MAGATs, however, Sturmabteilung is also a relevant depending on how far this impudent, subservient minority will take it.

In a democracy, the majority is considered to be the predominant entity. We, as the people, give consent. Her statement in that video was obviously insurrection when she admits a minority and then deflects the idea of a majority to a straw man, (Antifa) which is merely a loose-knit ideology being utilized as a phantom depiction of a necessary enemy to foment and justify violence. It is an excuse to rally domestic insurgents in response to the deliberate, stochastic calls for terrorism of their Fascist leader in office.

I would define that as treasonous rhetoric and there is no political excuse for promoting it other than to preserve and defend a now illegitimate Presidency, (as per the Oath of Office and the Constitution) of manipulation, divisiveness and attempts at total control.

The sane ones, and there are plenty, will not want their castles destroyed. Trump doesn’t have an army ready to die for him and he knows it.

any impeachment. Plus, it's fox "news" that has empowered them, each and every one.

FOX "NEWS" IS THE TRUE TRAITOR.

8. Ernst Rohm's granddaughter perhaps?

Eichmann’s great niece maybe.

In the long run it doesn’t matter. A fascist is a fascist. Sadly, while we need more women in politics, this shows women can be just as stupid as men.

These are the useful idiots who wouldn't know the difference between enabling a dictator or trying to stop one.
