the Trump Phenomenon

I think you're asking the wrong question. Is the profile of someone who's more likely to riot about political belief or about disenfranchisement and inequality?

Did you see the signs that the protesters in New York were carrying ? Or see the video of the transvestite punching the policeman's horse in the face ?
Curious if these are the type of people that you would let babysit your children because you certainly spend a lot of your time defending them

what we know from democrats is that mentioning the word riot(if you are a republican) is very bad....but actually rioting(if you are a democrat) is not such a big deal

Correct. If it was about disenfranchisement, believe me, it would be the white, heterosexual males who would be rioting, after 7 years of Weird Harold blaming us for everything.

Yes Spence. The kids at Yale who protested about giving someone else the right to free speech, are disenfranchised and are the victims of inequality. Many of the riots re on college campuses.

Good God man, not your finest speculation.

Yes, because some in their formative years are frustrated with what they see as societal disenfranchisement and inequality.

I think it goes something like this...I am putting on my Spence cap here, so bear with me...

These trust fund babies at Yale are upset about the plight of the poor blacks that they read about when they were at Phillips Exeter Academy (not so frustrated that they are willing to give up their trust funds, naturally). Because they are outraged by this, they go berserk when Ann Coulter wants to give a speech or when a sports team is named after Native Americans or when the value of their trust fund increases with the stock market. And what better way to help eliminate the plight of poor blacks, than by throwing a rock at a random cop, or disrupting a Trump rally.

Liberals who are so outraged at the plight of the poor that they are pushed to the point of throwing rocks at police, are naturally morally superior to conservatives who merely want to adapt economic polices that will help blacks escape poverty.

That was my short trip into the Twilight Zone.
