Trump supporters brutally attack gay man in California

Trump supporters shouted slurs at a gay man from Canada who was in a Santa Monica, CA bar Tuesday night watching Trump win the Presidential election, and upon leaving the bar, the man says, these supporters attacked him.

Calgary filmmaker Chris Ball said that he was watching the election results when supporters of the Republican candidate began to lob epithets. ‘We got a new president you fucking faggots,” they said, Ball told Metro Calgary. (http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/10/gay-man-attacked-hours-after-trump-election-win-6248329/)

When Ball left the bar alone later in the night, Trump supporters followed him to an alley way and assaulted him, Ball said. The last thing he remembers before awaking bloody on the pavement was having a beer bottle smashed over his head. Friends took him to the hospital.

In the emergency room Ball received five staples in his head — he also posted pictures from the E.R. to refute accusations on Facebook (http://imgur.com/a/bqkS6)that a picture posted immediately after the attack was faked.

‘F*ck all porch monkeys’: Pro-Trump graffiti painted on Minnesota High School

A High School student in York, Pennsylvania posted a short video of a group of white students marching through the hallway carrying a Donald Trump sign and chanting “white power.”

In Royal Oak, Michigan, a group of Junior High School students chanted “Build the wall! Build the wall!” in a full cafeteria.

Meanwhile, a bathroom in Maple Grove High School in Minnesota was vandalized with some of Trump’s slogans including “Make America Great Again” written alongside messages of hate directed at black students.

Other instances of graffiti combining the name of President Elect Trump with swastikas was spotted in multiple locations in Philadelphia.

racist rhetoric and white supremacist slogans will continue to become more normalized

as America grapples with its new identity of a nation whose people inspire fear in anyone whose appearance or beliefs mark them as “different” from those who now firmly reside in Trump’s America.

Militia Groups Are Basking in Trump's Victory


http://www.motherjones.com/files/imagecache/top-of-content-image/american_flag_bandana.jpg

Militia groups are rejoicing in Donald Trump's unexpected victory. As the election results poured in on Tuesday, militia members went from worrying about a rigged election to celebrating Trump's increasingly inevitable win.

When Trump was declared the winner, a user on the website Modern Militia Movement (http://modernmilitiamovement.com/)wrote, "Tonight we claim a victor, thank God, now the hard work begins, holding their feet to the fire to make sure that they do all in their power to help us Restore our country back to what it should be a Constitutional Republic!" :lol

Many militia members were solidly in the Trump camp during this election season, and Trump was endorsed by several figures (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/09/trump-supporters-neo-nazis-white-nationalists-kkk-militias-racism-hate) affiliated with the militia movement.

https://twitter.com/jjmacnab/status/794349924573794305/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw


"I'm sick and tired of the Department of Homeland Security or the Southern Poverty Law Center or FBI or all these law enforcement agencies brainwashing people to say that anybody who believes they need to hang onto their guns to protect their own security are the bad guys and they're the terrorists," he says.

"I hope that Donald Trump plays an instrumental part in getting the government off our backs." :lol

I don't believe most of these stories are accurate, but some backlash on the day following the election was to be expected, tbh..it's no different than rioting after other controversial events, which is very common, as well..

There will be more incidents on the day of the Inauguration and on the subsequent days, but everything will be back to normal shortly after, tbh..go to work, pay your bills, try to get some pussy, etc..

[Clipper Nation]

There were limited reports of protesters harassing reporters and Trump supporters in front of the White House Tuesday evening, but the protesters stepped it up Wednesday in front of the Trump International Hotel in D.C.

Protesters stopped the flow of foot traffic and harassed a well-dressed elderly couple, forcing them to walk on the street around the group as members shouted "fuck Trump," and "how dare you support him?"

The crowd chanted "fuck Trump" repeatedly, while carrying signs that favored "immigrant workers." A local Latino Trump supporter told The Daily Caller News Foundation he was ordered to move along by protesters because he didn’t support diversity.

How is it Trump's fault that Democrat PACs and people like George Soros pay violent mobs to riot whenever they don't get their way? How is it his fault that a scary number of liberals are brainwashed enough to violently attack people who didn't support the same candidate as them?

They did the same shit when Bush was elected in 2000. Was that Bush's fault?

It's also nothing we haven't seen a million times before from unions, BLM, etc. even in non-election years. The left has a long history of using violence, vandalism and riots to try to intimidate normal people into giving them what they want.

I agree, there is just so much hate and divide in this country and plenty of blame has to be put on Obama for not being a good leader of the people. Trump isn't even in office yet, so it remains to be seen how he can keep the peace, they will still hate no matter what probably. Hillary would have dragged this country down, but they don't hate her because she stands for crime. Obama is the one who has f**ked this country up and caused the hate and divide, Trump is just being used as a punching bag for years of suppressed rage and anger from Obama's incompetence to lead the nation.

[FromWayDowntown]

Many Trump supporters openly contemplated outright violence and even civil war if Clinton had won.

I agree that there are idiots on both sides. Their chosen polarization has become the biggest problem in our electoral politics and society as a whole.

You have specific examples of this or is this some general complaint that he wasn't Republican enough?

The architect of the most racist law in modern American history has been named to Trump's team (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/11/10/1595617/-The-architect-of-the-most-racist-law-in-modern-American-history-has-been-named-to-Trump-s-team)

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been asked to join President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team.

The team will advise Trump on policy issues leading up to his swearing-in in January, preparing him to begin his first 100 days in office. It’s an unpaid position for Kobach.

Kobach called the transition from Obama’s presidency to Trump’s “one of the sharpest transitions we’ve seen,” a 180-degree turn for the country.


Why should this terrify you? Because Donald Trump has just named one of the most racist politicians in all of America to his transition team. Kris Kobach was the architect of the most racist law in modern American history. SB 1070 passed in Arizona in 2010. What did it mean? If you have brown skin or an accent, police had a right to stop you, detain you and demand you prove your citizenship.

Trash's shitball rolling through DC is picking up lots of trash.

[Chinook]

How is it Trump's fault that Democrat PACs and people like George Soros pay violent mobs to riot whenever they don't get their way? How is it his fault that a scary number of liberals are brainwashed enough to violently attack people who didn't support the same candidate as them?

They did the same shit when Bush was elected in 2000. Was that Bush's fault?

http://www.salon.com/2001/01/21/protests_8/

It's also nothing we haven't seen a million times before from unions, BLM, etc. even in non-election years. The left has a long history of using violence, vandalism and riots to try to intimidate normal people into giving them what they want.

I didn't say it was his fault, did I? I said it was his responsibility. As Obama said, the president is always responsible. He's no longer a candidate. He has to fix this, and he has to make sure it stays fixed.

[Warlord23]

You have specific examples of this or is this some general complaint that he wasn't Republican enough?

It'll be some combination of:
1. Obama talking about Trayvon Martin's avoidable death (which is unquestionably evidence of his hatred of white people)
2. Obama acknowledging disproportionate police brutality on minorities (which obviously means he supports black thugs and not the police)
3. Obama supporting anti-discrimination laws (which can only be explained by as an attempt to marginalize traditional America)

Throw in some stuff about Democrats being the founders of the KKK, the welfare state keeping minorities chained to the "Democrat plantation" and Obama's colonial resentment, and behold - you have the gist of what Limbaugh, Hannity and Breitbart have been feeding their audience.

[RGMCSE]

It's the Democrats' responsibility to keep their people in line, not Trump's. Hillary and Obama have both talked a good game about respecting the results and upholding the peaceful transition of power, but unless I'm missing something, neither those two nor any of the other leadership figures in their party have come out to condemn the radical left's violent meltdown.

Trump is talking about how he wants to unify the country, but unity is a two-way street. There's not much he can do if the left would rather behave like a bunch of fascists (with the tacit support of the donor class, political establishment and media, mind you) than give him a fair chance and an open mind. He needs to stay on the message of unity, but there also needs to be a good-faith effort from the other side of the aisle to heal the wounds from this election.

And no, assaulting political opponents is not a valid exercise of your First Amendment rights. Neither is breaking windows, spraypainting graffiti all over public property, committing arson, making death threats towards Trump and Pence on social media, or blocking traffic.

Police Calm Millennial Protesters By Handing Out Participation Trophies

http://babylonbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/trophy-696x394.png


U.S.—As anti-Trump rallies nationwide turned hostile overnight with widespread reports of violence, looting, vandalism, and death threats against the president-elect and his supporters, police in numerous major cities were able to instill calm and regain control by handing out participation trophies to all millennial protesters who were enraged about losing the election, sources confirmed.

The shrewd tactic was the idea New York Police Officer Joe Butler, who has three twentysomething children himself, and noted to reporters Thursday that he remembered how his children “never had to deal with losing as they were growing up.”

“It’s a foreign notion to them. Even in sports—win or lose, everyone won, and everyone got a trophy no matter what. This is the millennial way,” he said. “So I had the idea—hey, why not start handing out participation trophies to the protesters, and telling them ‘Hey, you know what? You may have lost the election, but look—everyone gets a trophy. Everyone’s a winner.'”

Seeing how the trophies had an instantaneous calming effect on the millennials and filled them with a sense of fulfillment and achievement, word spread quickly among police departments nationwide, and emergency trophies were procured by the thousands for use at the rallies.

At publishing time, police had regained control in cities across the country, and the crowds of now-content protesters were heading home with their trophies, according to sources.

There were many arrests. I'd assume the arrests were for the sorts of things that you've mentioned (though blocking traffic, itself, is probably not anything more than an exercise of civil disobedience and not really a criminal offense). Are you saying that everyone involved in the protests -- even those who aren't doing criminal things and are, in fact, merely participating in civil disobedience -- should be arrested?

Texas State probes pro-Trump fliers calling for 'torture' of school leaders over 'diversity garbage'

The fliers appear to be posted by a pro-Trump group calling themselves 'Texas State vigilantes'



http://ww2.hdnux.com/photos/54/75/12/11784861/6/920x920.jpg


Plastered on bathroom mirrors throughout Texas State University Wednesday were fliers calling for the “arrest and torture” of “deviant university leaders spouting off all this diversity garbage.”

The fliers, which lauded the election of Donald Trump calling him “our man,” seem to have been put up by a group called “Texas State Vigilantes,” according to the handouts.


“Now that our man Trump is elected and Republicans own both the Senate and the House — time to organize tar and feather vigilante squads and go arrest and torture those deviant university leaders spouting off all this diversity garbage,” the flier reads

The media took Trumps 10 and turned it up to 12; added hyperbole to his bad enough statements. He is: Racist, Xenophobic, Homophobic, Mysoginistic - and horribly so; (there is actual evidence to the contrary, but that is irrelevant). We have the anecdotes and in, and out, of context statements to prove it. We are going to say this louder and louder to get our girl elected, and if he happens to win? I hope HE is unifying.

This actually makes my point. That is hyperbole. Trump did not call for Obama’s assassination, but, obviously, you COULD take his remarks as leaning that way. Or you could not, and accept his explanation. Instead, report it over and over again until it’s a fact and it happened – and then live with the results.
I had to look up to even remember what you are talking about, and found a link, also, to a speech Trump was giving in ’11. A car backfires or something, and he makes an assassination joke. He says something about not being surprised (sounded like a gunshot), “That was Obama.” The website took it as Trump saying that Obama was being shot at; I took it as Trump suggesting Obama was shooting at him. Depends on the glasses you’re wearing, I guess.
In fact, Trump’s statement about the “2nd Amendment People” being able to oust Hillary might be prophetic. I live in Western Pa. Gun rights are a big deal here; possibly even more so than in Texas, if you can believe that. All it takes to get a carry permit here is $20 and an instant check at the courthouse. Takes 10 minutes.

And I want to make it clear I'm not saying it's okay for anyone to do it. I understand the need to express your anger around likeminded people but it's completely counterproductive to commit or even imply violence.

My whole point is that I dispute the idea that the hysteria of the last two days is significantly less hyperbolic than the hysteria after Obama was elected. If 2016 is illustrated more with large gatherings of protesters in cities, I believe that is more a function of where these people live, and their relative ages, than an indicator of how angry the losers were after two different results.

Or, anecdotally... in 2008 I recall being promised race riots with black people taking over the streets. Maybe would-be protesters were to scared to go outside.

1) He self destructs and gets impeached

[101A]

And I want to make it clear I'm not saying it's okay for anyone to do it. I understand the need to express your anger around likeminded people but it's completely counterproductive to commit or even imply violence.

My whole point is that I dispute the idea that the hysteria of the last two days is significantly less hyperbolic than the hysteria after Obama was elected. If 2016 is illustrated more with large gatherings of protesters in cities, I believe that is more a function of where these people live, and their relative ages, than an indicator of how angry the losers were after two different results.

Or, anecdotally... in 2008 I recall being promised race riots with black people taking over the streets. Maybe would-be protesters were to scared to go outside.

Obama entered office with very high approval, and most people in the country feeling pretty good about ourselves DESPITE the economic meltdown:

They weren't just yelling "things." They were explicitly yelling "you voted Trump, you voted Trump." Even if the victim didn't actually vote for Trump, it doesn't change the fact that the attack was motivated by the attackers' perception that he voted for Trump and that this would justify beating him up and stealing his car.

Quit while you're behind. Your attempt to spin this story is just awful. Unlike Fraud King's fake and/or unsubstantiated stories, there is actual video evidence of a politically-motivated attack by the anti-Trump crowd.

[DPG21920]

What did the Clinton's ever do for Blacks? While the Black community may not have liked Trump's reactions to police shootings (which is ironic they are now pinning all racism on a guy just elected) he said multiple times he wants to help the inner cities which while a seperate problem is a large one.

This. I don't know when anecdotal facebook posts and twitter trends became acceptable as evidence.

The media (meaning all of it) was meant to have a strong wall between reporting and editorializing. That wall vanished as most media outlets began to pander to their constituents (which, is oxymoronic in itself as the media shouldn't have a constituency) and then used social media as something other than a Facebook post.

There will always be racists. Trump didn't do anything to create more or empower them. That's why BLM and other social activism existed before him and rose to power under our first Black President.

This country made progress. And just as I feared, Trump winning now gave everyone the ultimate "race" trump card to play again.

This country, full of the same racist people voted for a Black President. Twice. How could racist old whitey do that? It's not like the racists were hibernating and forgot to vote. Then just said "hey, it's been 8 years, enough of this equality! We gave it the old college try!"

It's ridiculous. This election was not lost because racists saw Trump and said now I can skip down the street freely with my racism!!!

There is the same amount of vocal racists today as yesterday but overwhelming this country has become more accepting. I just fear that we will have 4 years of pulling the race card, acting like nothing changed (which is not true) and tensions will become higher because of it.

[DPG21920]

This election was lost because DEMS ran out Hillary. DEM supporters overwhelming said no to Hillary when she ran vs Obama. They slapped them in the face. They slapped Bernie supporters in the face.

That is why the reset button was hit. Has nothing to do with people being tired of a Black President and the progress being made. It has to do with no longer trusting our government will work for us and being tired of a career politician like Hillary.

The same amount of whites who voted for Romney voted for Trump. Hillary got 6% less of the Latino vote compared to 2012 Obama (71% to 65%) and was 8% worse with blacks compared to 2012 Obama (88% to 80%). Factor in that 6MM less voters turned out for Hillary than 2012 Obamma while Trump only lost 1MM in voter turnout compared to Romney. From the data we have today, Hillary lost in part because she didn't do well with blacks and latino's and in part because democrats didn't come out for her. The numbers do not suggest that Trump galvanized some previously non-voting racist segment of society to actually vote.

Has nothing to do with race. Obama would have smashed Trump and then that narrative doesn't make sense.

The manager also said that this was not the first incident involving Zimmerman at that bar, according to WKMG (http://www.clickorlando.com/news/george-zimmerman-used-racial-slurs-before-being-trespassed-deputies-say). Benitez also told police that he wanted to have Zimmerman banned.

Zimmerman reportedly said to Benitez, “I didn’t know you were a (racial expletive) lover.”

When Zimmerman was removed from the bar, he claimed that he had been assaulted by a black man.

Zimmerman was not the only person in his party using racist language.

Despite Trump giving a faint voice to the alt-right mouthbreathers and basement dwellers on reddit and 4chan, I don't think those "angry white men" who put him over the top were motivated by racism. As we know, Trump swept the Rust Belt states, which were long a democratic firewall, filled with blue collar, Union-belonging Joes who likely voted democrat all their lives (the Unions and the Right are basically eternal enemies).

Read a few exit poll interviews, and it seems a lot of those lifelong democrats, many of whom even voted for Obama, are simply fed up with the status quo in Washington, the "elites," and blame both parties for the decimation of the manufacturing industry in the region. They wanted an alternative, maybe not necessarily to lift them out of their plight, but to stick it to the coastal elites they perceived responsible for their situation. Yeah, Trump aggressively campaigned in the region, promising to return manufacturing jobs to the area, which is a silly pipe dream, but I think they vote him in regardless.

Michael Moore called it:


From Green Bay to Pittsburgh, this, my friends, is the middle of England – broken, depressed, struggling, the smokestacks strewn across the countryside with the carcass of what we use to call the Middle Class.

I could see the proverbial Joe now, six pack of Iron City beer, sitting on the torn up Lazy Boy, laughing his ass off while Washington and those so called coastal elites scramble to make sense of the situation. He did it to watch the world burn. Yeah, he could take us with him, but he doesn't give a shit because his world burned a long time ago.

[Chinook]

Ok so either no republicans are experiencing this type of aggression or all of them as a whole are intimidated or embarrassed to talk about it. Got it.

You asked a question, and I answered it in good faith, not to push an agenda. If I have an agenda at all it's that I'm extremely open-minded to Trump and want him to succeed. I don't know how bad it's gotten. I'm a large black man living in a liberal city, so people don't really act belligerent to me very often. I haven't noticed a change in attitude, but after hearing some of the chants during his victory speech, I do think some people could have.

[TeyshaBlue]

Despite Trump giving a faint voice to the alt-right mouthbreathers and basement dwellers on reddit and 4chan, I don't think those "angry white men" who put him over the top were motivated by racism. As we know, Trump swept the Rust Belt states, which were long a democratic firewall, filled with blue collar, Union-belonging Joes who likely voted democrat all their lives (the Unions and the Right are basically eternal enemies).

Read a few exit poll interviews, and it seems a lot of those lifelong democrats, many of whom even voted for Obama, are simply fed up with the status quo in Washington, the "elites," and blame both parties for the decimation of the manufacturing industry in the region. They wanted an alternative, maybe not necessarily to lift them out of their plight, but to stick it to the coastal elites they perceived responsible for their situation. Yeah, Trump aggressively campaigned in the region, promising to return manufacturing jobs to the area, which is a silly pipe dream, but I think they vote him in regardless.

Michael Moore called it:

I am making it abundantly clear that racism of any form will not be tolerated by me. If you are in a position of power and exhibit any sort of racism you will be removed from your post.

It indeed was, but that's the way the economy was headed since Japan woke everyone's ass up in the 80's. For American auto manufacturers to stay competitive, they could no longer have whole towns making 30.00 per hour on the line. It sucks. But that's the reality.

I call bullshit on most of that.

The alt-right has been fawning over Trump and view his election as vindication and an indication their time has come.


Former Ku Klux Klan leader and US alt-right hail election result
David Duke says ‘our people’ played huge role in outcome, and pro-Trump author invites Clinton supporters to ‘cry more’

Members of America’s alt-right reacted with glee to the news of Trump’s victory. The provocative conservative movement, largely active online, has been closely associated with Trump’s campaign.

“We just blew up the Death Star!” tweeted the rightwing radio presenter Alex Jones. He later retweeted an image from the Wizard of Oz showing the Wicked Witch of the East flattened by a house, with the caption: “BREAKING video of #Hillary shows why she can’t make a concession speech to President Trump.”

Michael Savage, a shock jock who was banned from entering the UK in 2009 as he was considered “likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence”, posted on his Facebook page the message “WE DID IT”, alongside an image reading: “Scorched earth. Restoring the country after Obama.”

..
Richard Spencer, who is president of the white nationalist National Policy Institute, tweeted “The Saxon has awoken” and “The alt-right just won!”

Mark Dice, another prominent alt-right figure who describes himself as a media analyst, wrote: “I want to thank all of my fans for amplifying my voice during this campaign and helping to elect #PresidentTrump! We did it!”

I have already personally seen at least one incident, some white guy yelling some shit at a group of Mexican construction workers in a grocery store parking lot.

The trend will be fairly clear. People with that kind of viewpoint now very obviously feel vindicated.

[RandomGuy]

Not So Extreme Futures
So, yes, racists are racist. And the idea of Donald Trump spouting full-blown alt-right rhetoric (versus some loud-and-clear dogwhistles) still seems somewhat farfetched. But Taylor is right about one thing: “For the next four years, these ideas will have to be discussed with much more openness, and frankness.” Because the alt-right’s talking points—Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and racism—are crucial motivators for many people who bore Trump to office.
The consequences of having those ideas percolating through the national discourse are already being felt on a person-to-person level. “Kids*have been catching hell because other kids’ parents say, ‘We’re against political correctness,'” says Painter. “That means you can act on your hatred.” It’s not just anecdotal: the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, says hate crimes, domestic terrorism rates,*and hate group membership have all risen over the past two years.

[Chillen]

Hell, almost everyone that voted for Trump said they didn't like or trust him. He didn't empower anyone. He was just the anti-Hillary and that's why he won.

He was the message, not the hope.

I disagree, Trump won because his message connected with most Amercian's, Hillary was the alternative and she is corrupt as hell, unlikeable and a liar. Also a Trump vote was a satisfying "F bomb" to all the establishment elites in Washington D.C. dragging this country down putting special interests first before the people. I do think people voted for him as he offers hope for a more promising America.

Republicans have been told they're "emboldening racists" from the moment the Democrats started pretending they weren't racist anymore in the '60s.

Trump won because he flipped the Rust Belt, a region of the country that was full of working-class union Democrats. There was no magic "racist vote" that came out of the shadows for Trump.

The reason for all this uprising is largely due to how the MSM constantly insisted that Donald Trump was the antichrist, that him in the WH would be an ELE for the world. They said that so often and for so long, then it happened... there he is. Now you have all these people who never thought it could happen freaking out because the sky is falling, CNN and MSNBC said so! I mean, they said it would so it will, right? Now the same MSM is pretending they are just remote viewers reporting on what they see when in reality they are the most active agent in all the uproar. They have become the supply and the demand for "news". They have their dirty little hands in on the elections themselves, and the "fake news" is largely from them. There needs to be congressional hearings to remove some rights from these "media" sources who actively participate in election fraud.

If I was awaiting a green card and had ties to Iran, I'd be scared as fuck since he promised a total and complete shutdown of immigration of Muslims, which transformed to "areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism".

And I'm sure his reaction to the next Muslim attack will be totally measured.
