A writer for the Huffington Post is defending his recent op-ed that "a violent response” is the “logical” approach to stopping presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Jesse Benn wrote in the op-ed titled “Sorry Liberals, A Violent Response To Trump Is As Logical As Any,” posted on Monday, “[T]here’s an inherent value in forestalling Trump’s normalization. Violent resistance accomplishes this.”
"These denunciations of violence from anti-Trump protestors rest on the misguided view that the divide Trump’s exposed is a typical political disagreement between partisans, and should be handled as such.," he wrote. "This couldn’t be further from the truth. Trump might not be a fascist in the 20th century European sense of the term—though many of his supporters are—but he might represent its 21st century US version."
"Violent resistance matters. Riots can lead to major change," Benn wrote. "It’s not liberal politicians or masses that historians identify as the spark underlying the modern movement for LGBTQ equality. Nor was it a think piece from some smarmy liberal writer. It was the people who took to the streets during the Stonewall Uprising."

Fascists never think they are fascist when they silence those that disagree with them with violence.
To them - violence against what they think is evil is perfectly justified.
And so a violent resistance to their violent resistance is also justified.
Yeah yeah I’m just being logical again.
Anyway, a fight is a fight and you should go into it to win.
Right on, with leftists the end always justifies the means.
We’ll have full blown violent oppression if Republican leaders other than Trump don’t fight for our rights.
Spineless twits like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are destroying our country.
Perfect. Because I’m just about ready to advocate paying them back in kind.

Year before last.
And I defend the use of firearms to defend ourselves against Leftist terrorists.
That pillow biter would run and hide if he saw a mere holster.
Absolutely! Legal firearms employed for self defense.
“We’ll have full blown violent oppression”

NO condemnation of riots and arrests and prevention by certain LEO, our Congressmen, Senators, and cities during Trump rallies

I’d say we already have it. We just don’t see it all the way yet.
Well Michele Fields can show them how to do fake violence, like yanking yourself to the floor and stuff.
Next there would be actual violence, which quickly degenerates into murder, breakdown of civil order, formation of rival paramilitary groups, clandestine war, and then open war.
Benn's words should not be allowed to stand.
I forgot something.
$1,100/month 0bamacare for 1 retired person, with coverage lowered every year.
Learned this from a contact last night.
So he supports the same communist political purges that have killed about 150 miliion of successful citizens in the push to support non-workers. Seems the ruling class government knows who will vote for them.
I would probably run and hide if I saw a holster. Because it would probably mean there was a gun pointed at my head.
Dad. Engaged citizen. Opinionated writer. Creative. Dissident. Atheist. Member of the Tribe. BDS. BLM. Media fan/critic. Journalistic tendencies. Films cops. …Benn’s self-description from his Twitter account. IOW, Mr. “White Wounding” is the typical Marxist hatemonger that is agitating for blood in the streets.
And keep waving those Mexican flags, we really love it when you wave those Mexican flags.........

Massachusetts farmers were not “fascists” when they violently resisted the British. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. These people are willing to use violence. We should stop whining about it and be prepared to use it back. Anyone who is a nationalist is - to some degree a fascist. If one is not militant about preserving a national language, border, and culture, then it is only a matter of time before it will be replaced.
