If you don’t have freedom of speech and assembly, and are afraid for your life in a public place, are you really free, or are you living under the rule of the party of one and their paid violent mobs?
It is upsetting to find out that a principal asked a high school student to remove his baseball jersey at a game where everyone was encouraged to wear patriotic t-shirts. His white jersey sported the American flag, the name Trump, and number 45. The student had to remove the shirt deemed as making questionable political statements and inciting violence. It is hard to understand how our president’s name and number would incite violence. One may not agree with his policies but he is our president, governing over the best economy in decades.
How many of these idiots realize when a revolution starts it usually eats it own parents first.

It’s not the name Trump that incites violence. It’s the lack of discipline and the permission to act on their intolerance by the left that is the problem. The mob needs to be desensitized to the word Trump so they can act like civil tolerant human beings who “put up” with that which they disagree with rather then acting like unrestrained Nazis or Muslims.
How many of us fear to put a “Trump” bummer sticker on our cars least they be vandalized? How many fear to wear a Trump shirt or button in public out of fear they will be assaulted? How many think twice about having a sign on the lawn that supports Mr. Trump. Out in Lala Land California it is a real concern.
I do.
I have had my employment threatened twice by a customer just for quietly, politely holding a conservative opinion. Both leftist bullies intruded upon a private conversation and demanded I retract my statement; both tried to coerce my employer into firing me - for being a “terrible” person - after my calm but firm refusal.
I have risked my livelihood - and my life, on one occasion - for my conservative Christian convictons, but I will not do so frivolously, as a conceit.
