@edb87 To be fair 1) protesting and 2) civil disobedience do not necessarily include property destruction & physical violence we're seeing

@BillyGribbin Yes. But homeboy threatened to grab a gun.

@edb87 No argument there's hypocrisy re:accepting results--but "musket" sounds like old-timey patriotism reference he clarified. IDK

@edb87 FTR, I'd agree that his initial tweet was irresponsible and implied armed conflict

@BillyGribbin Yeah, that was a bit dumb. But he's not the brightest bulb in the drawer.

@edb87 meaning of the story; both sides have total dickheads, or are you trying to say that somehow its OK to protest a democratic election?

@1987mcg It's totally ok to protest. But you can't sit and call for armed insurrection and then piss and moan when people protest.

@edb87 it's OK to protest a democratic election? Sure it's legal, but you look like a dickhead doing it as you wouldn't protest if you won

@1987mcg Well, yeah, you wouldn't protest if you won. There'd be nothing to protest.

@edb87 you're very slippery. So do you not see both sides as having dickheads in their collectives?

@1987mcg @edb87 Trump's campaign was very deliberately divisive. You can't expect people to just silently accept the result.

@HouseofGlib @edb87 yes it was, and it made him win the vote because people wanted him to be president. Think why they wanted this first

@edb87 Show respect? Never. They disrespected a superior President for 8 yrs. We're only going to have 4 cause Piglet will be gone :)

@mdd2468 Honestly, I don't know about that. Without Clinton, D's don't really have any "rock stars" in the wings. And it'll take a rock star

@edb87 @mdd2468 Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Julian Castro

@ThisMattYoung @mdd2468 Harris was the only one I was thinking of. But to stop Trump?
