How can a “leading historian” at Yale be dumber than a sack of rocks?

Because he is a “leading historian” at Yale

How in the world can a “smart” person conclude that after we (who are armed to the teeth and by and large know what we are doing) sat by and watched what 0bama did to this country for 8 years think that snowflakes are going to do something more? Delusional.

How can someone who already runs the government attempt a coup?

These people are unhinged.

The projection is strong with the left.

It's what they would do so they think that is what Trump will do.

I will allow that it may be a bit of wish fulfillment on their part. It would allow them to heroically take to the barricades and shell the Winter Palace.

The liberals are the ones that were practicing tyranny. Shoving their agenda down everyone’s throat and not willing to listen to anyone about anything that wasn’t lock step with them.

Liberals are still trying to do that, with their violence at protests and what not. Refusing to accept this country rejected their agenda.

He’s a historian at Yale and he thinks the USA is a democracy? Sad.’,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My thought exactly! Wonder if he has ever heard of the word “Republic?” I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands....

Guess he has never made the pledge.

This is most important for all Patriots to remember. These people are the most angry, foaming at the mouth zealots I’ve ever seen.

That we had to put up with decades of watching our country go to hell, our Constitution ripped to shreds, our freedoms eroded matters not to them.

Already they completely justify violence against us. I have no doubt if they ever get back into power (and they will unless they are somehow permanently purged), it will be showers and ovens for us.

As I’ve said here many times before, there isn’t a Liberal alive that would turn down a chance to help load us Irredeemable Deplorables into Cattle Cars on their way to the DNC Indoctrination Camps, not a one.

More to the point, if ever there was a president that might be accused of this it was obamarangatang, so where was this buttmonkey's concerns then?

The conservatives in our great nation are law abiding citizens. Most of them are armed. A large percentage of them are very very very proficient with firearms.

I pray the day does not occur when law and order ceases to exist and judicial or executive or legislative tyranny reins. If it does, patriots will step forward. 300 yards is easy. This is something as I said, I pray never happens.

The people of our great nation is not what made it great. Great masses of people came here and they were poor,desperate and only wanted to just live and prosper. Our most brilliant forefathers wrote the Constitution of the United States of America. This document is what allowed the desperate and poor from Europe to become the greatest nation in the history of man. We must not lose it!

And, I bet this guy never gave a second thought about Obama doing what he fears Trump will do - and Obama was far more likely to try something really bad....
