Protests: Liberal elitists threaten society

Between the ACLU challenging the chain of command for combat operations and individual federal judges halting travel bans/immigration decisions based on national security, we have gone beyond the tipping point where liberals are more concerned about their skewed view of the world than what’s best for America.

They are not unlike Southern slave owners leading up to the Civil War.

The fabric of our nation is being torn apart daily by the spoiled elitist liberals who assumed their faulty ideology was better than the rest of us they described as a “basket of deplorables.” They truly believe their socialist idea of America was firmly and permanently installed with eight years under President Obama and another presumed eight years of Hillary Clinton.

They can no more accept the will of the people (and our constitutional electoral college) than the Bolsheviks of Lenin would have.

The reason there is not yet open armed civil war in America is the fact that liberals are generally snowflakes with no real conviction (like those who protest fossil fuels while being clothed and fed by the use of those very fossil fuels).

But among those black hooded protesters-of-everything, there might be a future Stalin or Che who might yet push that envelope.
