We need a prosecutor somewhere to take the next instance of pro-Trump vandalism or assault, and prosecute the case to the maximum level possible: no lowered charges, no plea-bargaining. Send someone to Jail, let him/her lose their job, let their savings be drawn down in legal fees. The only way this stops is if the instigators understand that severe penalties will drop on them like a ton of bricks.

(2,895 posts)To just keep going and going and going. Look at how much they milked out of NOTHING for decades!!!! And Trump is drowning in actual corruption and criminal activity. Also... his children... his wife... everyone who advises him... anyone who has business dealings with him... etc...
And our Judicial Watch needs to direct the same laser focus on all the Republican "leadership" and anyone else remotely influential.
I would certainly chip in my donation if someone with the organizational and legal skills was to launch something like this. Just SUE THE BASTARDS!
Judicial watch is very well funded & devoted decades to taking down the Clinton's. I would totally support a complete & total destruction of trump & his thug family & hangers on.

(3,531 posts)Sorry, not trying to be contentious. I have a nephew who has succumbed to the dark side. He browses Brietbart and drudge (I know, I know, fake news), and he keeps sending me outraged stories of "fake" reports (always reported by liberals, of course), peppered with "real" stories of Trump supporters having their cars keyed, property defaced, etc. It makes me very sad seeing this young man so brainwashed by the constant lies of the right.
I think there are idiots on both sides of the divide (but way more on the right), as well as plenty of apolitical social media idiots looking for 15 minutes of fame. I have no doubt there is plenty of hatred unleashed right now; does anyone know a reliable source of news (besides DU) that is both reporting on real hate crimes and willing to debunk the fake stories?

(34,456 posts)Believe it or not he told me "snopes" was another unreliable left wing propaganda site!
What really scares me about the alt-right followers is that they demand ideological purity. Therefore anything which questions the story they are hearing is automatically a left wing lie.
He firmly believes that CNN is completely left wing propaganda!

(341 posts)when dealing with them. They think that the only legitimate truthful news comes from Breitbart. They really do believe that all information from all around the world is liberal propaganda. Some are even turning against Fox News now. I too was told Snopes is a left wing propaganda site. I don't think there's any getting through to them at this point, they'll need extensive deprogramming. The world they live in must be an awful, fear filled, hateful place- I mean, imagine how it must feel to think the entire PLANET is conspiring against you.
