If at one of his rallies, Trump were to come right out and overtly tell the crowd "it's open season on liberals" would anything be done about it? Yes, it would *definitely* be crossing the line but he'd most likely get away with it, wouldn't he?

Meaning - the Puffins are breeding, bring your high powered binoculars to catch a peek. So it is open season and just the perfect time to stop by and view the beach Puffins.
Or some such contrived shit excuse of a made up bull shit story swearing his innocents. He would never conceivably think of harming or encouraging someone else to harm anyone ever !

Will they be willing to turn their wives, husband's, brothers, sisters, and children over to the government to be killed or imprisoned by the government they have pledged their loyalty to? They could refrain from doing that, and only kill strangers, but then again, their wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, and their children are strangers to other believers they do not know. I'm sure there would be people out there Iwho would do all of the above, but not widely enough to accomplish their goal. There's also something else to take into consideration. That would be the law enforcement agencies, and the military. I think martial law would be declared, weapons confiscated, and the United States put under martial law until an acceptable civilian government could be formed. Couple all that with the fact that the majority of the democratic constituency is not the Democratic Underground constituency. Believe me when I say this, there are a lot of guns in Democratic households. Enough to make it virtually impossible for right-wingers to win in any case. I'm not telling anyone this is how it will be. I am just expressing my opinion on how it would turn out.
