The New Yorker published recently published a piece that seems to vilify Donald Trump supporters. In the article, they call Trump supporters’ actions a outlier for their otherwise peaceful demeanor, insinuating that somehow supporting Trump is in itself a not peaceful act.
More than three months before any ballots have been cast at the Republican convention, Roger Stone, Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again consigliere, has delivered the campaign equivalent of a severed horse head to delegates who might consider denying Trump the nomination. Trump’s supporters will find you in your sleep, he merrily informed them this week. He did not mean it metaphorically.
“We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal,” Stone said Monday, on Freedomain Radio. “If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed,” Stone said.
Over the years, I’ve covered elections in Iraq, Iran, and Burma. Stone’s taunt is every bit as threatening as anything I heard in those places, which have far less experience than America with democracy. Such is the moment we currently inhabit.By now, we know most of the chapters in Trump’s political playbook: the epithets for “low-energy” Jeb and Lyin’ Ted and Little Marco, and the bombshell provocations—about, say, a nuclear strike in Europe—as a way to draw attention away from unfavorable news and missteps. And, throughout, of course, the mockery of women. But as we approach the growing prospect of a contested convention, in which delegates can make game-time choices about whom they will support, it’s becoming clearer that Trump may seek to shape the outcome by using his most unwieldy weapon of all: the latent power of usually peaceful people.
While Stone’s call to action toward convention delegates is no doubt controversial, the idea that the only outcome would be some sort of violence further proves the media’s clear bias against Trump. You’re either against Trump, in their eyes, or you’re a violent bigot.

If the Republican Party wants to continue beyond this election, it had better cut at the self serving, greedy, weasel, professional cry baby politician bull$#%&!@*or the better percentage of members will leave! EVERY REPUBLICAN I TALK TO IS WISE TO YOUR GAMES, WE WILL ALL QUIT!
Hey, GOP, RNC. Rules are rules, right? Just playing by YOUR rules. And doing it a lot more honestly and peacefully than you are! Screw me once, shame on you. But we learn fast. And one thing we’ve learned is that you keep changing your crooked rules and creating new crooked rules in the middle of the game. Yes, rules are rules, and we can learn those rules and be forced to play by those rules. Doesn’t make them honest, right or good rules. And we pity you that you don’t understand and know the difference. You hate us because we see you for what you are: a group of greedy, pathetic, scared little bullies. And you’re afraid because you’re facing something bigger, more important and infinitely better than you’ll ever be. WE THE PEOPLE!
I actually like that phrase, “Dark Power of the Crowd”. The dark power that will reveal the light of right.
