I hate myself for allowing myself to feel as such, but I don't know what to do.

Maybe this does belong in the Primaries section, but if so only superficially.

The violence at the Trump rallies is eventually going to get someone seriously hurt, if not worse, and he's only egging it on.

I have been told on other fora dominated by RW nutcases that "if that happens, it's because they were looking for it and they deserve it."

Ever since I first heard Rush Limbaugh in 1992, trying to paint Bill Clinton, a product of the DLC sausage machine, as a Marxist, and then with the rise of his clones, Fox, etc., painting "liberals" as demons from Hell to the point where liberals themselves have felt compelled to "reinvent" ourselves as "progressives." The hell with that; I've never run from the term.

I am not a violent person by nature, and, at 50 years old I have had my share of fights in my life. I grew up a street kid.

However, in the last few months especially I have almost been wanting to duke it out with some RW idiot who says that liberals are just a bunch of p**sies, who are scared of RW'ers "open-carrying" (actually, I'm not; in the Air Force you have to qualify on small arms and I have fired everything from a BB gun to an Uzi semiauto) and would "run from us." It is especially the "keyboard commandos" who have stopped amusing me and have started angering me - the types who post insults from the safety of their keyboards and who would never say their bullshit face-to-face.

In essence, I want to prove them wrong in their idiotic beliefs about "liberals" and to show them that, yes, we can strike back in force too. Liberals have been "too nice" for far too long.

If Trump stages a coup d'etat and gets himself into the WH (think Emperor Palpatine) and establishes a fascist dictatorship, those of us who cannot leave the country before he puts up walls that keep people from coming AND going are going to have to organise some sort of underground like the French Resistance. I have distant relatives in Alsace-Lorraine whose parents and grandparents took part in that, doing nice things like stringing cable across roadways to take out Hitler's SS motorcycle despatch riders.

I don't believe the comparison of Trump to Hitler is valid - he's more like Mussolini.

But the worst part is that I hate myself for being brought to this point.

As someone supposedly mature, who takes his Christian faith seriously (especially all that stuff in the Sermon on the Mount), who served this country in uniform (which many of the RW bigmouths have not done) in the Air National Guard, and later as a volunteer in the Civil Air Patrol and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary helping to save lives, I should be above this.
