>>Liberals, who have always craved violent oppression, are emboldened because Republican leaders are cowards. Except Trump.

Some enterprising person needs to set up a stand outside the doors to a Trump rally selling collapsible batons and OC so when the people are leaving and facing that mob, they can just buy some non-lethal weaponry and march forth. The lethal weaponry would be in the car, of course, so if the mob follows them until they disperse enough to pick off stragglers, the Patriots can deal with that too.
So how DO we keep from going, gently or otherwise, into that bad night of easy moral equivalence? Which seems to be popping up all over these days.
Maybe there needs to be more of Teddy Roosevelt’s speaking softly while carrying a big stick. And that we reach for a God perspective again, asking God to help us attain it. That kind of growing probably won’t happen overnight when before this all we wanted out of God was to keep our own isolated households safe and to prosper them, without a care about the rest. We are so used to small circles today.
“Making America Great Again” will require persuading cynics of the virtues of acting “greatly.” That means we ourselves, as a society (not as government agencies, which Thomas Paine long ago took pains to distinguish) must rise above acting little. Charity, both in attitude and in goods, can get a wise head and strong backbone again if it is rested upon God and not upon politicians.
