You don't employ the rhetoric, embrace white supremacists, and cut essential government programs without big consequences. There is a big thing Donald Trump and his gang don't understand. People will get hurt, and when hurt people don't get their concerns addressed, there are consequences.
Irresponsible comments from Trump, despicable name calling by Rudy Giuliani, and threatening remarks by Trump-supporting sheriff Joe Clarke do nothing but throw kerosene on top of what is an already burning fire that threatens not just the "incoming" administration, but the union itself. There could be riots in the streets which many are killed and the situation could deteriorate into a bloody civil war.
I hate to say this, but this is what happens when you say and do the things Trump and his supporters did during the just completed campaign. And now you hear Trump and his gang talk of threatening the civil liberties of all of us just because they don't want to listen to what folks are saying.
This is not a time for business as usual, politics as usual, or even an inauguration as usual. The mainstream media may want to brush this impending fire under the rug, but unless corrective action is taken very soon, unthinkable consequences could ensue. I don't want any of this, but as I said, when anger isn't addressed, rage follows. When rage happens, riots come. Led by California, states could secede from the Union, and the situation could deteriorate even further into Civil War.
Did Trump think of this when he campaigned or said the things he has after the election? Did Giuliani, Sheriff Clarke, or even Omarosa think of this when they attacked and made threats against protesters? Or did the evil KKK consider this when they announced their celebratory march in North Carolina to commemorate Trump's "win"? I suspect the answer to all this is no.
The Bible states that you reap what you sow. Trump and his folks can pooh pooh this all they want, but the bottom line is this: there are millions of folks with legitimate grievances who want their voices heard and their grievances addressed. Brushing these folks aside, taking away their essential services, and continuing to belittle what they are saying will make the situation even worse.
