If Trump rallies are known by Progressives to be violent, then Progressives who go to them are inciting violence.

But the problem is with that freedom of speech he will just make more people side with him... Speach is powerfull thing. . . Too powerfull in the hands of EVIL. Humans are easilly manipulated.
Thats why freedom of speach should have everyone that does not make people side with them. Freedom of Speach should be for talking, not making people believe your bull****

What about liberals who go to Trump rallies?
What about Democrats who go?
What about left libertarians?
What about Green Party?
What about American Communist party?
Etc,
Are you saying that being present at an event that is violent is causing that violence?
Those performing the violence aren't responsible for their actions?

Sophistry? Rich.
You made an irrational statement that an individual's knowledge that Trump rallies are often violent makes them responsble for the violence should the decide to be involved in some way. Your logic, such as it is, seems to be that Trump and his followers are no more culpable (or developed) than a violent animal, and therefore, they carry no responsibility for their actions because someone "put themselves in the bull's way."
Sophistry indeed.

This is true, and Trump has messed with the American people.
And they are pissed about the damage he has already done (never mind what he is capable of doing once he sits in power).
I don't know why all kid glove-ness though... I am perfectly ok with Trump's hatred being shouted down
(not a 1st amendment issue),
and I will join in to do the same... the same way I have many times in the past towards those that seek to pursue a destructive agenda. It's what a society that actually cares about itself does when someone comes along spouting division, hatred & fascism. It's about time. & hopefully not too late.
We all cheer when people stand up to bullies in movies, it's time to cheer the standing up to Trump the bully as well.

incorrect. The American people are more diverse than anti-Trump big government drones.
You know them all personally perhaps?
Hatred is in the eye of the beholder. Need hate?
The Progressives are the bullies. They take 10 years of income from everybody.
Progressives are liberal fascism

In other words,
If a woman knows she might be raped if she walks down Beuford Avenue, and it happens, she can't blame the rapist because she asked for it.
Great logic. Solid. 10 out of ten.

You need to defend Trump's freedom of speech even if you don't agree with what he's saying
You need to defend his freedom of speech. Even if his policies are divisive you need to allow him to express his views. If you are threatening violence because something he something that angers you then your an authoritarian and you are no different from the two authoritarian parties.
I don't agree with his policies nor do I agree with Hillary,Cruz or Bernie.
If we are a free country we have to let people have freedom of expression and freedom of speech.
People using violence(or the threat of violence) as a means of political coercion is wrong. That is what the authoritarians do.
