I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

Liberals turning into the kind of lawless yahoos that swept Trump to victory. If Trump's real campaign slogan was "Making America White Again" (and it was), the Democrats' reaction is Resurrect the Weather Underground.

Jesus fucking christ. A man whose rhetoric present an existential threat to all manner of oppressed people is now empowered to take action and your panties are in the bunch about a wee bit of protest? Come on, man.

Also, the Weather Underground (and many others) exploded a whole bunch of bombs. Exactly where have there been bombings this week??

After seeing Democrats stopping traffic in LA and Chicago and burning and looting in New York and New Orleans, it's clear that we really aren't all that much better than them.

Yes, property damage is just like rounding up all the brown people, stopping and frisking all of the black people and banning Muslim immigration.

ETA: Or painting swastikas on things. Or chanting "build the wall" at your Mexican classmates. Vandalizing a school bathroom with "Tump" and "N*ggers". Or telling the Mexican girl she has to sit in the back of the bus now.
