Trump, resistance...

The “resistance” is creating a literal madness. It is even saying that the word “Trump” is a dangerous word. They say that being on the Trump train is a dangerous act of madness.

And I think we have a big turning point in front of us.

The hysterics of the resistance creates the language of warfare, even around subjects like our public schools. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos now has to be surrounded by security. 

The shooter of the senators in Virginia didn’t seem like he was insane to me. It looks to be a premeditated, thought out act. 

If you teach your child that a frog will kill them, your kid isn’t going to get near a frog. This kind of hysteria is what we are teaching our children, insinuating that Conservatives are dangerous, that Trump supporters are crazy and violent.

Leftist children are being taught that anything on the right is dangerous and needs to be fought against. 

We need to have dialogue and discussion, not slogans.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
