Trump suggests that protesting should be illegal

The orange nazi is really living down to expectations.....

President Trump has long derided the mainstream media as the “enemy of the people” and lashed out at NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem. On Tuesday, he took his attacks on free speech one step further, suggesting in an interview with a conservative news site that the act of protesting should be illegal.
Trump made the remarks in an Oval Office interview with the Daily Caller hours after his Supreme Court nominee, Brett M. Kavanaugh, was greeted by protests on the first day of his confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill.
“I don’t know why they don’t take care of a situation like that,” Trump said. “I think it’s embarrassing for the country to allow protesters. You don’t even know what side the protesters are on.”
He added: “In the old days, we used to throw them out. Today, I guess they just keep screaming.”
More than 70 people were arrested after they repeatedly heckled Kavanaugh and senators at Tuesday’s hearing.

Gosh, it's almost as if conservatives and libertarians are lying when they say they are just defending the First Amendment and not being racist.

Very oddly, that is indeed the case. Conservatism has been sold, lock, stock and barrel (no pun intended) to the Trumpist swastika crowd*. Want a conservative voice? Then you can no longer say Nazis are bad, or that racism shouldn't be institutionalized. Break ranks with those memes, and you're a traitor to the Trump cause, and need to be silenced. He's the pResident. Get in line, sonny.

*for pennies on the dollar, because Trumpy is such a great deal-maker.

There are a few conservatives who are (finally) speaking up. However, they 1) took way too damn long; 2) only complain when it might affect their bottom line; 3) generally get shouted down and called RINOs. That part's at least entertaining.
