what do you have to say about the people (several of them members here) in various militias, that promised to "Take care of matters" and that they were "locked, loaded, and ready" [to take back the country] in the event of a Hillary win?

Say what? Any group acting on those threats should be met by military like force, and ended by such force.
Any group saying those threats should be investigated.

Serious question:

For all those lashing out against the deplorable violence that has been part of these protests(understandable) and mocking the angry protesters (pathetic), what do you have to say about the people (several of them members here) in various militias, that promised to "Take care of matters" and that they were "locked, loaded, and ready" [to take back the country] in the event of a Hillary win?

Just bluster, or, in the event that they actually honored those promises, would you also reject their actions?

I'm pretty active in the gun community, no one was talking about a rebellion, we were all thinking along the lines of where and how do we bury our guns after a boating accident where we lost all of them.

Apologies for the page, but that's Hillary in the audio sending damn near every single gun owner to the polls to vote against her.... http://freebeacon.com/politics/leaked-audio-clinton-says-supreme-court-is-wrong-on-second-amendment/

The "rebellion" was our right to vote, and most of us did.

That's something few really understand, elections are our way to stage a bloodless coup every few years.

Kind of like how the same people calling Trump Hitler are the ones bussing in the brownshirts.

Mussolini, to be fair. In my defense, he still has some work to do to disprove that understandably fair label.

I can blame the media for the echo chamber of fear and hatred. The campaign against Trump has incited violence.
The President and company telling the public to keep it cool and unite does not work after screaming for two years that the world was literally going to end if this happens.

Or, if you were honest with yourself, you could blame the clear and direct words that came from Trump's very mouth, again and again and again.

It's the media's fault for informing the republic of the quality of this man, based on his own words and his documented history of disenfranchisement? At one point, this was the media's only sworn duty. Now you guys have "euphemized" this duty into "gotcha media!"

Please....

Well, if you didn't think Trump's supporters were effectively using Twitter and Facebook to get out their message and bump their daily hashtags in relevance in, quite possibly, the most important advertising campaign to get out his "message," then you're being naive.

The guy spent a 3rd of what Hillary did because his little basic bitch army destroyed the Twitter platform on a daily basis with there free advertising by keeping nonsense stories and simple phrases trending above everything else. It was incredibly well-organized and highly effective.

Whatever your conspiracies about social media censuring Trump supporters are completely drowned out by the fact that they utilized the platforms far more effectively than the dems.
As opposed to the thousands of fake twitter accounts set up by ctr to astroturf trends?

Bitch, please, cernovich, bill Mitchell, and Nolte didn't set up thousands of fake accounts.

Following brexit, the most notable change was somewhere around 50% rise in racially motivated attacks, generally on those "foreigners" their nationalists were busy vilifying during their campaign.

I'd imagine something similar happening in the US given the similar demographics and nature of the vote, except right wing media will spin it as you already instinctly have of uppity minorities attacking the good honest white folk of america.

It's already begun! We're gonna kill them all!

Muslim Student Who Reported Trump-Inspired Attack Admits She Made It Up, Police Say

“She made up the entire story about being attacked, about her hijab being taken. There was no truth to any of it,” Lafayette Police Department spokesman Cpl. Karol Ratcliff said.

5 to 4;
"The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, limits on the rights of felons and the mentally ill, laws forbidding the carrying of weapons in certain locations, laws imposing conditions on commercial sales, and prohibitions on the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment."

-> "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." // Unharmed.
-> "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," // The militia component has been replaced to well regulated right. If it was changed it would be "A well regulated right... *to keep and bear arms, ]being necessary to the security of a free State.. *shall not be infringed.
You might study Constitutional law and in particular the 10th Amendment from a legal perspective so you can get a handle on the legal interpretation of the laws. I have and it was a real eye opener.

Quoted for truth, and well said.

I am an equal opportunity basher. You saw it with your own eyes about my post in the thread about some idiot burned a black church and wrote "Trump" on the wall right before the election. Wrong is wrong. No matter the color/race/creed/background/etc. of the perp(s).

Looking for a distraction, eh?

That really was some terrible shit, I hope to hell they catch who did it, and they're prosecuted.

I'm sure those are all legit and not just attention whores throwing a hissy-fit. The real attacks are anti-Trumpers attacking pro-Trumpers, complete with video evidence.


‘You voted Trump! Beat his a**!' Video claims to show man being beaten up because he voted for The Donald

Notice the media spin on it? "Showing her support for Trump made her a target." ...implying that you should NOT display Trump support in order to avoid the inevitable aggression.

I've seen Twitter trends and Facebook trends just disappear in front of my eyes, Google auto complete modified, social media was in the bag too. I felt like we were being fed Cold War era propaganda, frankly, I'm amazed it didn't work.

More aluminum foil might help.
