The real threat isn't SJW nutters or Guac Man supporters but guys like George Soros and all the other international hyenas pulling the strings. I used to be wary of Trump's connections to The Tribe until I realized that seemingly 100% of them are against him. That's all I needed to know, basically whatever Soros is supporting is pure evil and whatever he is against is good. That guy is like an Emperor Palpatine, canary in the mineshaft for telling the right path, by simply doing the opposite of whatever he is funding.

This is all very interesting, do you have any links for extra reading on this? On The Tribe too perhaps?
Thanks

Not at all actually. It's Bernie that I'd be worried about. I can just see him getting the nomination then having a mysterious heart attack. Trump is probably super hard to get to. I mean sure a sniper or something, but you have to imagine the secret service is not incompetent. If Trump or Bernie die I think we'll see violence in the streets.

Untouchable? I'm just waiting for when someone 3d prints a drone and gun, straps the two together with a firework, and assassinates a politician at a speech. Not saying I want it to happen, but its basically untraceable, all the pars are 3d printed, and lots of people own and have access to those, circuitry could be created with generic arduino parts, and to top it all off, you could mangle the evidence with a firework after taking the shot to make life harder for an investigation. No politician is untouchable, at this point, and I will be very much surprised if we don't begin to see a serious uptick in assassination attempts in the next few years as us politics gets more and more polarized, and drone tech is more readily available.

These people aren't going to get off their beds to vote; much less carry out an empty threat. They are too busy on Facetube.

Yes! I think he should have a small army of Trump lookalikes. Like Saddam had.

Yes, Knustler not so subtly suggested he be taken out if he wins.
