84. I didn't say what the Left's reaction would be

I just said what I think the Right's tactics would be.

They'll instigate it; they always have. Their media will make any excuse needed to justify it; they always have.

The effect will be to further isolate and alienate Urban America from Rural America till we're in danger just going on a day hike.

I just spent a week in Trump Country - the High Desert of Oregon. I can tell you, they have no idea what Urban Americans are like, but they just KNOW we're trying to destroy everything they believe in (which is almost 100% false).
