Trump gave an excellent acceptance speech, I thought, fucusing on unifying the country. Which I knew as I was hearing it wouldn't happen because the Right and Left - the electorate, that is, not the politicians - are so far apart in ideology. Nevertheless, the spirit of his speech is exactly what we need in this country. Pull together and undo the damage done during the last 8 years (and prior, for that matter). A very tall order.
But today we have reports of anti Trump protests and RIOTS! I am not surprised, I sort of expected it. Even said so jokingly to coworkers the other night. So, the Left is beside itself, its socialist agenda has been derailed and the extremist groups that make up the Democrat/socialist party (yes, Democrat platform = socialism) are now turning violent! Smashing windows, etc. Blocking traffic in the streets... what next, pulling drivers from cars?
These are the same people who screamnthe loudest about "democracy" - too uneducated to realize that we DO NOT have a system of "democracy, but rather a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC - and when their side loses fair and square, when a majority of Americans - and it WAS a majority of Americans, not "just" electoral votes (more of that representative republic stuff) who voted Trump in as our next President - they turn violent?? These are the very same people who claim to "care" so much about "fairness"? Isn't the Left the party of "peace, love and understanding"???
What's really ironic about this is that the Leftist media, while arrogantly predicting a Hillary win, also predicted disaffected Trump supporters staging violent protests!
This is just further evidence of how wrong the media is, how far out of touch the Left politicians are, and how dangerous and out of control the segment of the population who supports them are.
Now what? I've believed for many years that there would come a day when I had ro defend myself against "civil unrest" - sort of a "haves vs have nots" situation. But I didn't expect it so soon.
