http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/03/19/trump-makes-an-even-scarier-threat-after-promising-riots-well-win-with-our-second-amendment-video/During a Saturday rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump made his supporters grand promises of how we are going to win. Amongst these promises was an ominous threat. Shouting over the crowds cheers, Trump yelled:
Were going to win with our Second Amendment. Were gonna win big league with our Second Amendment!
You can watch the unbelievable moment below, where Trump delights his gun-loving fanatics:
Got fascism?

(31,997 posts)he has already said so much that in normal years he would be out by now.
I think he is just seeing how out-there he can be to get away with it

(31,935 posts)The entire election is rigged for Clinton. Bill Clinton urged Trump to run. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's strategy has been to keep Hillary out of the press as much as possible, because she tends to put her foot in her mouth when she opens it, and the last thing that she wants is people asking her about the issues (wants a war with Iran, more fracking, more GMOs, cuts to SS and medicare, less Wall Street regulation, the TPP etc). They don't want the public to know anything about Bernie because the more they know, the more they like, hence the "Bernie Blackout". So how does the establishment get the Left and centrists to vote for a deeply unpopular right wing candidate who is running as a Democrat? Create the ultimate boogyman with Trump to scare people into the polls for Clinton. Voting for "the lesser of evils" has worked for them for a long time. They hope to take it to extremes this time around. Well, with that and the help of rigged machines (exit polls show that Bernie won OH, MO, NV, IL, and MA, the last by double digits).

Thing is, it won't work this time.

(111,222 posts)The reason we have laws against inciting riots is that riots tend to have a life of their own, not controlled by anyone or anything, just bent on total mayhem.
He's got a toe across the line. All he needs is to pull this shit where someone in authority has the guts to call him on it.

Even if you want to repeat history, it still pays to learn from it.

It is like he is begging for carnage. As if that is a component of what 'Makes America Great'.

Donald needs a little talkin' to. I want a retraction and an apology ON the National News

Treason is a pretty good reason?

(14,168 posts)This is where this is all going. It is basically a call to arms to win at all costs. Even if Trump loses, maybe even more so, his minions will want their revenge.

(718 posts)he says we're going to "win" with all sorts of things, he doesn't just use it to talk about being nominated, but to refer to everything eg trade deals, national defense, probably family values, everything really. So it could have been about protecting themselves from from gun control since many of them see it as an infringement on their rights. My guess is that is what that was probably about. It's part of why they like him I think, he makes them feel like winners. His "successes" are their "successes" and I think it's part of why they defend him so completely. Just an idea anyway.
So, I think... it didn't likely mean that. I will look up this rally though, to find out for sure. Thanks for posting.

Do you think he's also threatening to use "veterans" to win with?

(718 posts)thank you. A lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.

(62,444 posts)"Ah, so you are defending Trump!"
But, yeah, I do tend to be more critical of rhetorical devices when they are used by people on the same side as me, because being fair to people is the point. Just because someone doesn't fight fair is no license to do so oneself.
Now, yeah, given the break in his delivery as he responds to someone in the crowd, the denser of his audience may have indeed perceived that line standing alone. But in context, while it makes for a good "mined quote", he's not suggesting the use of guns to win the election. He's suggesting that his stand on the Second Amendment will be a winning one.

(860 posts)it only takes doing nothing to be all-in for the 2nd amendment. trump will take it to the next level that requires more guns being fired.
