I keep hearing people say that he is like Hitler and all these Soros-funded rioters are proof of Trumpf's violence.
To me it just seems like the true brownshirts are the people beating people for not thinking right and intimidating them into voting for their side.

It's exactly this kind of engaging intellectual argument from the left that is making those on the right have a jolly good look at themselves.

I was just watching the violence of anti-Trump supporters on reddit
which will probably just cement the views of Pro-Trump supporters and gift him shit loads more votes, given the behavior of the anti-Trump brigade is just like the Nazi bully boys in Germany

It seems to be an acceptable tactic of the left now
It seems it's too difficult to deconstruct someone's ideas, make them look like a buffoon with facts and then present a superior argument in order to win people over.
What you have to do these days is stifle debate, censor, disrupt, spit, assault, throw eggs until everyone can see the message of tolerance you are spreading.

True, we should round them all up and boil them down for tallow.
I wonder if it ever occurs to them that all they do is reinforce entrenched views and push people toward the opposite extreme.

I find honest fringes refreshing. They are at least trying to have coherent world view.

No problem with that at all so long as they are part of the debate rather than trying to shut debate down.

Except there is no debate.
Thanks to the multitude of news sources available, it is easy to only watch that which reinforces your world view and tends to confirm your prejudices. US politics has become so polarised that there are very few people with a balanced view and thus no middle of the road opinion.
There are actually many, many sensible Americans who support Trump and see Hilary Clinton as evil incarnate. Their simplistic view is that they have worked hard, saved, pay into healthcare schemes from their earnings and she wants to take the majority of their earnings off them and give it to lazy people who made no provision for their own care and illegal immigrants.
We (probably correctly) see Trump as a dangerous lunatic, but don't make the mistake of thinking all his supporters are, nor that he is unelectable...

Polarisation is on purpose, in reality both are middle of the road parties, only different flavour, for different target group.
Polarisation gives tribal spin and retains voters. Simples.

I think there is a more vocal, numerous and active left wing fringe
If you look at this country, compare the number of demonstrations/riots that take place under a conservative administration to that that take place under a labour administration. I realise these things are policy related, but even so.

It's probably because people get more right wing as they get older.
Pensioners find it hard to work up the energy to go into town to spit at people entering the Labour party conference. That, and they'd forgotten what they'd gone into town for by the time they got there.

people tend to get pissed off when they think they're being denied something
which is basically what Austerity is all about

the only issue I can remember the tory vote getting on the streets for ever is foxhunting
Wonder how far you'd have to push them fiscally to mobilise them. Would have loved to have seen the mansion tax riots

the tories dont have a huge number of activists or the trade unions behind them so it's hard for them to organise protests
They have got loads of cash though

I went to college in San Jose
and have lived and worked in this area most of my life - this sort of violent protest is very unusual around here! Sure, in the 1960s and Nixon 70s things got a bit crazy, but it has been a very quiet zone - even during the Bush the 2nd years.
I think this is evidence of how much most young people just hate the idea of Trump being President - they know how awful it would be and they want to stop it right now. Yes, violence in theory is wrong, but this is just the tip of the spear - it will be a very strange summer in Merika!
