    I'm looking at it in Photoshop with a Zoom Tool right now and the hat shows no sign of alteration.

    I can't convince you. You can only do that yourself.

    And there are unstable people on both sides of the political spectrum. Why do you only care about one side and not the other?

    Is only the physical violence morally wrong, in your opinion? Are any actions that provoke that physical violence okay in your opinion?

    So instead of just saying its wrong you put the onus on others.. Did you think that would go unnoticed?

    So despised he attracts tens of thousands to every single rally and has thousands more standing outside in blazing heat, freezing cold, and pouring rain to hear his speeches and show support.

    You've never seen anything like it because it was obama who caused the divide and hatred, and right wingers don't have the mental capacity of a spoiled 5 year old. If they lose an election, they lose with dignity.

    Every Trump hater in this thread has attacked Trump and made an excuse for the attacker. And they say Trump's responsible. The second the attacked victim stands his or her ground, the Trump haters call us violent. It's a never ending circle of dumbassery on their side.

    My personal belief is that it's wrong. But my belief doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

    You want the hate to stop? Then it has to stop for both sides equally, at the same time. And I don't see that happening. That's the world we live in now.

    So, you can either keep your head down and try not to make waves, or you can make waves and try to surf, and hope you don't wipe out.

    Do you want to try and answer my questions? Why do people only consider the other side evil? Why is everything that provokes physical violence okay, but not the violence itself?

    Your questions are just a round about way of justifying this incident and its obvious.

    Want the hate to stop.. Stop justifying it.

    You can stop with the passive-aggressive posts. It's the common tactics like that, that keep generating more and more support for my and your president.

    Maybe people are showing up in the tens of thousands to his rallies with thousands more standing outside in blazing heat, freezing cold, and pouring rain & voting for him because they despise him and they are showing up just to threaten and scare him. :icon_clueless:

    We get it. Leftists want to silence their political opponents and wouldn't it be better if they silenced themselves?

    This is America. People have a right to express themselves and people have sacrificed their lives to defend that right.

    If you or anyone else has a problem with that pack up your belongings and leave. This country isn't for you and you're not for this country.

    Want to stop the hate? EVERYONE else first. Get it?

    You don't want to answer my questions because you believe that only the physical violence is wrong, but not the actions that provoke it, IMO.

    So, would you have a problem with people coming up to you in public, screaming and berating you? Getting in your face? Not physically attacking you, mind. It wouldn't affect you at all?

    You install meaning to the hat that was not there just like you are trying to rationalize your position by asserting and assuming things about me.

    Your never ending questions are your weak attempt to defend this ladies actions...

    And your side DOESN'T want to silence people? Please, don't even try to lie.

    If anything, your side wants to silence us permanently. Get us all angry enough to take a swing at you, then pull your gun and blow us all away.

    Do you want to answer my question? Is only the physical violence morally wrong, and not the actions that provoked it?

    Your side, my side, we are all the same. Either we all stand together, or we all fall together.

    Meaning of the hat will differ by the person viewing it, obviously. Your side doesn't get to dictate that meaning to me.

    As for the woman, I already said she should be in jail. If you believe in something that strongly, you should be willing to accept the consequences of your actions towards that belief.

    Don't you feel the same? If a person believes in something enough to verbally berate and belittle someone, shouldn't they accept the consequences? After all, it's foolish to expect those actions to not have ANY emotional impact on a person.

    That's what they told the Jews in Nazi Germany.

    That's what they told the dissidents in the Soviet Union.

    Keep your head down.

    Try not to make waves.

    Disgusting...

    If you think Trump supporters are so stupid as to be motivated by the opinions of nobodies on the internet that's your prerogative. I give the one's I meet more credit than that though.

    This **** is funny. Squirm away justifying it...

    Claiming somehow he "provoked" her ( this justifying it) then trying to debate the "morality" of "provoking" her.

    Meanwhile you dont realize with your umm logic.. Any random person could assault you and you would be forced to morally decide if you are at fault for somehow " provoking" them due to your known or unknown actions.. I mean who are YOU to tell someone else how your actions known or unknown make them feel?

    Yeah, you're right. Whenever I see a red baseball cap with white writing on it I pull out my gun and blow the person away. It would be foolish to not expect it.

    Maybe you can explain how the first amendment only protects his rights from government entities. I keep pocket copies of the constitution to hand out to people who make such comments.
