Re: Donald Trump protesters block traffic in Arizona
Well, as I've stated in other threads, every incident attributed to Trump has been orchestrated by the opposition.
Here we see an example of people willing to violate the rights of others in order to enforce their own ideologies...something they keep trying to tar the Trump campaign with.
We don't like Trump soooo let's violate freedom of expression, movement, association, etc. because: "Freedom!" :doh
This is why I believe when it comes to election time Trump is going to do a lot better than his opposition expects. Most people don't appreciate this kind of "Our rights to express ourselves trump your rights every day of the week" attitude.
Every incident? How about Trump attacking people verbally all the time? Is that the fault of the opposition too? Because I have heard him attack the media time and time again in speeches, is that orchestrated by the opposition too?
The reasons for a lot of these incidents are caused by people opposing the discourse Trump unleashes in his rallies every time, but nobody from the opposition made Trump supporters spit, push, sucker punch, etc. etc. etc. So to blame them for the horrible behavior of Trump supporters and Trump himself is not right IMHO, people still are responsible for their own actions now aren't they.
That is the problem with both sides, people have no self control anymore, take responsibility for their own actions or know the meaning of boundaries. One of these boundaries is not spitting in people's faces, not sucker punching people, not pushing, pulling, violently screaming in faces. A fair bit of this comes from Trump supporters but the people protesting Trump need to be civilized too, screaming in the faces of Trump supporters is also not acceptable. Self control and self respect as well as the respect for others has been massively lacking in this whole process. Some of that is due to the underhanded tactics of the protesters but some of it is also down to Trump supporters and their vitriolic candidate who stirs the pot in ways that are very un-presidential.
Trump violates freedom of expression when he bans journalists who are critical of him, lashes out at someone like Megyn Kelly because she asks him a question he dislikes, he actively calls for violence against protesters. That is not violating people? People protest, campaigns need to deal with that in a respectful way.
And since when has Trump's freedom to express himself, his movement, right to associate been infringed upon in a serious manner? Once at a Chicago rally maybe? Ever counted the number of times Trump has been free to express himself on TV? On campaign stops? Phoning in to shows? If there is one person who has been given every possible opportunity to express himself then it is Donald Trump.
And FYI, the other side also has the right to express themselves and their right to express themselves is equal to the Trump supporters rights to express themselves. But as a whole your rights do not trump the rights of all the other voters, you are quite wrong in that. They have equal rights to that as well, and I think most of them will express that right in the voting booths when they vote one of the most unpopular presidential candidates of all times right out of the park.
Also, Trump first has to win the nomination and seeing/hearing about the dirty tricks the RNC is planning against him, frankly I am not a 100% sure that he will even become the republican presidential nominee.
PS. I disagree with blocking traffic to disrupt a political rally, people need to be free to get to the campaign meeting but from what I see most Trump supporters stand in line for hours to get into one so how disruptive it is, frankly I do not know but I am very negative about the disruption this causes for all other people on the road. So protesters, piss off from the streets, they are for traffic, not protesters.
This thread is about trump and protestors against trump. Anything else is derailing the thread. Stick to the topic.
