    So why do we have to be so afraid of his followers that we are giving him special treatment to dissuade their violence? Instead of, you know, fighting back or having them jailed too. 🤦

      Nearly 63,000,000 people voted for trump in '16.

      If even 1% of them are crazy fucks, that’s 630,000 people to deal with. That’s not something to take lightly.

      Doesn’t make it right, but it’s another layer of complexity.
