I remember an incident at a Trump rally in Chicago in early 2016 [View all]

Trump wanted to give a speech at a rally on a college campus in Chicago.

Students at the college didn’t want to hear any of it. Many of them got a hold of tickets to the event and started protesting Trump even before he took the stage.

Obviously the Trumpists there for the speech didn’t care for that fact. Chaos promptly ensued, the situation got unruly and ultimately Trump never took the stage that night.

That night I thought to myself, “No way do Americans elect this man. They know firsthand this is the sort of chaos he brings, and it’s not something they would want to subject themselves to.”

And yet, thanks in good part to Russian interference and the Electoral College and several other unfortunate factors, here we are.

And it’s just as I knew it would be.

Please do not let history repeat itself because I know nobody with a decent heart wants this for our country.
