"Trump should feel no obligation to speak on unity"

"This goes against everything that he ran on. He didn’t get elected because he was an appeaser for the left. He was elected to finally bring a voice back to the silent majority. He was elected to treat the left for what they are... childish thugs that have been given a pass for years unchecked. There is no excuse for the anarchy happening in the streets. violent acts happen to people of all colors and backgrounds all the time and society doesn’t break down because.of it. No more pandering to these communist. He was elected to break the lefts back and their deep state and media protectors."

Words from a message board in which I used to participate but have now abandoned.

2. How these fools still think they're the majority is a mystery

One of the things that has shocked the right - who just weeks ago were pretending their small gatherings of several hundred dipshits were world historical events - has been the sheer volume of people out in the streets over the last week. The protests have brought out the actual silent majority who have gritted their teeth and calmly waited for November 3 but who could finally take no more.

The confusion and fear of the people on the right upon seeing the actual masses has been palpable.

They want to get rid of due process, civil liberties and representative democracy and have a strongman rule, backed up by a police state that silences any opposition.

and it runs through the Evangelical sector very deeply. They want the "Chosen of God" in charge.

9. I must be old-fashioned. I find it odd that the "chosen" are now the money changers.

Yeah, I'd say that describes many, many Evangelicals who support Trump.

Bet this one lives in a red state that leeches off from the disparity of money that blue states send to states like AL, KY, MS, TN, etc.

Time for states like CA, NY, NJ and the New England states to claw back that money and make the taker states raise their taxes.
