How does this solve anything? Somebody is going to go too far and someone is going to get killed.

Of course the left doesn't see a problem here.....
They are all about love and tolerance...
Ohh wait, I missed those traits in the story....
Its the very reason the dem published the addresses and names of donors ...
So they would be harassed and publicly shamed for their beliefs ....

Careful.
Reading the Classic Novel That Predicted Trump
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/17/b...ppen-here.html
Doremus Jessup, the protagonist of Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel “It Can’t Happen Here,” sees something dark and terrible brewing in American politics — the potential for “a real fascist dictatorship” led by the up-and-coming populist candidate Berzelius Windrip. Friends scoff at this extravagant concern. “That couldn’t happen here in America, not possibly!” they assure him. But Jessup, a small-town Vermont newspaper editor and a “mild, rather indolent and somewhat sentimental liberal,” worries about the devastation ahead. “What can I do?” he agonizes night after night. “Oh — write another editorial viewing-with-alarm, I suppose!”

Off your meds, again, heh?
The only dark, terrible and sinister brewing in America is Communism embraced by the left.

This coming from a supporter of Tucker Carlson who called the White Supremacy Problem in the United States a hoax.
Both sides have extremists. Its a given considering the divisiveness in the nation currently.

You're taking his statement out of context. Go listen to the whole segment; you'll understand his point better, hopefully.

Except liberals don't call it just a problem. They call it our NEWEST EXISTENTIAL THREAT. How many is that now? Let's see....Global Warming, Russian Hacking, Trump Fascism...and now WHITE SUPREMACISTS.
Talk about SCARE TACTICS...isn't that what you guys always accuse Republicans of doing? SCARING people?
Funny chit.
Tucker is 100% correct when he calls this newest "existential threat" a giant HOAX. Russian Collusion didn't work out too well...I know, we'll start calling Trump and his supporters WHITE SUPREMACISTS...forget about DEPLORABLES, we've finally grown enough balls, and are desperate enough, to show our true insanity.

I don't understand your statement. Who is it that can dish it out, and who is it that can't take it?

If white supremacists actually do become an existential threat to the USA one day, you can thank radical left-wing liberals for glorifying them (unwittingly of course - via their HATE TRUMP agenda) and giving them all the media attention and notoriety they DON'T DESERVE.

Do you have any idea of what novel is about?
Quote:
The novel was published during the heyday of fascism in Europe, which was reported on by Dorothy Thompson, Lewis's wife.
The novel describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a demagogue who is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values.

Fits the M.O. of the Chump to a tee.
