You are really taking your life in your hands if you plan to protest at a Trump rally. You could be physically harmed and could even be shot once you are out of the event. Trump is not the only dangerous person around. His followers are hysterical, mean and violent. All you have to do is look at what has happened so far.
As a matter of fact even displaying pro Hillary displays might even get you in trouble by the time this election is over. I believe we will see some dangerous incidents during this cycle. Trump's and his allies are inciting followers to be violent by their rhetoric.
When you keep telling your supporters that the Democrats are ending America. That Democrats will take away your guns and freedom. That Democrats are giving your money to welfare clients, "N's", "S's", illegal immigrants, Moslems etc etc you are creating an atmosphere of hot anger.
When you are welcoming the white nationalists, KKK, David Duke, religious extremists into your midst. And when you are telling these people you will give them what you want, you are emboldening them to take action against those groups they hate.
And when you hear the governor of Kentucky say that it may take blood shed to address a Hillary victory you are putting Democrats and Hillary in danger. Such sick rhetoric invites some nut to take action.
This entire election cycle is becoming incendiary in many ways. Trump is setting the stage for a contested election. Ultimately Hillary will be vilified as a illegal President.

(28,151 posts)at this point, it is widely known how awful these people are...only those who *want* to be martyrs will be doing it now.
There are many who love to assume the mantle of victim/martyr, this opportunity is too good to pass up I suppose.

Expressing your Constitutionally dictated rights can get you assaulted. Not standing for a song can get you assaulted. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time can get you assaulted. Being the wrong political persuasion can get you "All Lives Matter"ed.
Conservativism is a cancer.
