Are We Ready to Stand up for Those Trump Will Attack?
Muslims? Immigrants? Poor People? Women? Hispanics? African-Americans? Native Americans? LGBTQI People? Others with Little Privilege?
Once Trump takes office, there will be focused attacks on a broad sector of people with less privilege than many of us. Will those people have to defend themselves, or will we stand up for them and stand between them and the forces that will be on the attack?
This is going to be a test. No question about it. How we respond will tell a story. I hope we will all pledge to defend those who have little power to defend themselves.
Edit to add: Please kick this thread if you're ready...
You are a cretin Mr. Campbell.

7. Thank you.
Surveying my block in a residential neighborhood in St. Paul, MN, I see that over half of the homes are occupied by people of color and immigrants. Only two homes are rentals, so my neighbors own their homes. Will they be like the Japanese-Americans in WWII, who were sent to internment camps and who lost everything they had built up? It is a real worry.
I had a college friend who was born in the Manzanar Camp in California. Her parents and grandparents were there, too, and lost everything while interned. Their business. Their home. Everything. She told me that her parents never really recovered from that experience. The stress, she said, killed her grandparents, who became ill while interned.
We must not let that story be repeated. We must stand for those people who are threatened by a Trump administration.
Correction...you are a dumb,****ing cretin Mr. Campbell.

6. Do it in the streets.
Better get ready to march, demonstrate, picket, sit in, be arrested etc.

10. We'll have your back. We all may need someone
to have our backs, frankly.
After listening to you blather on for 10 minutes George they will be throwing you in the back of the truck headed to the camps.

Oh whoop whoop whoop de doo, Minnesota Moses.
Because I am who I am, I've been under a focused attack by Democrats, liberals, and primitives.
Because I'm male, because I'm straight, because I'm single, because I'm small town-rural (but four-year+ college educated, remember), because I think myself a religious person who acknowledges God, because I possess a strong sense of family values (even though alas no family myself), because I've worked for all I've gotten, because I tend to do things on my own rather than seeking help from others--especially not the government--because I'm "handicapped," because I tend to gravitate towards solid people of character and integrity rather than jerks and assholes, &c., &c., &c., Democrats, liberals, and primitives have onslaughted me nearly all my life, seeking to interfere with me, seeking to make my life miserable.
**** you, Minnesota Moses. It's time you got a taste of what you do to other people, asshole.

Sounds like a perfect gig for DU-folk: an opportunity to make noise, with no work required, because Trump won't "attack" anyone.

10. We'll have your back. We all may need someone
to have our backs, frankly. <---- I think Rockhead is speaking directly to the Coach
So just exactly what does this mean? Does it mean that Rockhead has some sort of ability to rescue those who get arrested for protesting? Is he going to oversee some kind of foundation that will provide bail and/or legal advice to those who run afoul of the law protesting the government?
But then he throws himself back into the needy camp by his last statement. Are we to assume that Rockhead is offering support to others but might need some himself? Can we speculate that Rockhead, and by association the rest of the malcontents on the Isle of Skins, really have little interest in protesting beyond making stupid posts on Democratic Underground?
