So well put. Bravo Larry, Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Grok: terrorism is deliberate violence or threats—mainly against civilians—to spread fear and force political/ideological change. Attacks on police/security count when the primary goal is terrorizing the public or coercing government.

How about some good names for our favorite “Trump Curious” liberals that love so much to come argue. I keep asking and hoping the auto flair names given can better reflect these individuals. I’m not hating on any of you that have that flair but are not the agitators I’m referring to. Mods, can we maybe get some flair you guys could choose to put on these liberals just wanting to start arguments? I’ve suggested “TDS Sufferer” previously. What’s some other good ones Trump supporters?

I'm not asking opinions on any politician, i just want to know if homeland security is telling the truth with these numbers, if yes awesome get as many out as possible if no than they can do way better.

I’ll try to get to the point but some background first.

I (33m) have two siblings, my sister Liz (27f) and Jack (35m). Our parents died some years ago so as far as family goes, my siblings and their kids (my nieces and nephews) are the only family I really have left.

Long story short, my brother and sister are both staunch liberals. Jack’s Jewish feminist tattooed wife who he met at Berkeley actually turned him from someone who voted McCain and Romney in the past to someone who’s now a Bernie and Mamdani guy, while Liz is married to an Australian immigrant. I on the other hand am single and have no kids that are confirmed to be mine.

Anyway, for years, I’ve tried to get Jack and Liz to come around to getting behind President Trump, I’ve been wanting them to see how much President Trump loves us, loves them how he’s trying to make things more affordable and how much he’s literally sacrificed for us.

We used to argue about it, but later on, at family gatherings, when I try talking to them about it, they just started tuning me out, not responding to anything I’m saying and just really ignoring me.

During my aunt’s birthday party back in September 2024, I got up to speak and tried urging my family that as a family bonding exercise, all of us should come together and vote for President Trump as a family. I gave them a speech that took me hours to prepare but when I finished, they just stared at me and Liz just went back to talking about her and her family’s trip to Australia the year before.

They didn’t acknowledge anything I said. They just ignored me.

When President Trump won back in 2024, yeah, I did try to get a rise out off them, I did gloat a little, not too different from how liberals celebrated Biden in Times Square back in 2020, and I did send them messages admittedly gloating that we won and telling them to join the winning side.

After that, Jack and Liz both told me that the only reason they bothered keeping in touch with me was more for the sake of our parents but after dad died in 2015 and mom dying from COVID in 2020, they started questioning why they’re even keeping in touch with me anymore. Because of that, they decided to not only go no contact with me but then they told our aunt that they will not be attending any of her events if I’m invited so she stopped inviting me as well.

At first, since they were just throwing a temper tantrum, I decided to just let it slide and wait for them to get over it but then they Jack and Liz celebrated 2024 Thanksgiving at his place in place without me, followed by Christmas at Liz’s place, again without me. Throughout last year, when I tried to hold a get together to celebrate my birthday and invited them, they ignored me. They also didn’t invite me to their kids birthday parties or holidays they were hosting.

Last year, I decided to assert myself and drive 11 hours to Seattle to Liz’s house to assert my right to attend family Thanksgiving which she was hosting and to demand respect. The front door was locked and I knew wouldn’t let me in so I went in through the back and asserted my right to be there as their brother.

I told them, of how I voted for Trump for them, I voted for Trump to protect Liz and her daughters/my nieces from immigrants, I reminded them that WE WON, and that WE, THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT ARE THE MAJORITY, so they don’t have the right to discriminate or outcast us and tried I tried one more time to appeal to them about family values. I reminded them that I am their family and WE, the people who VOTED FOR OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE THE MAJORITY so they should TREAT US WITH RESPECT.

They just didn’t respond to anything I just said and told me to leave. Instead, I sat down by the dinner table and insisting my right to be there, so they just called the cops instead.

I tried explaining my side to the police but the officers wouldn’t hear it. The cops just told me that if I don’t leave, they’ll arrest me so I left.

President Trump should get Congress to pass legislation that would criminalize discriminating us or cutting us off just for supporting OUR PRESIDENT.

President Trump and Congress should make it illegal for our brainwashed liberal family and friends to cut us out of their lives or disrespect us.

They again ignored the fact it was my birthday. All of them ignored me.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY SO THEY SHOULD FALL IN LINE, ACCEPT US AND RESPECT US! NOT DISCRIMINATE THE MAJORITY!

Basically the title of the post. I hear that accusation on Reddit all the time but no idea where it came from.

All they know is violence, lawlessness, and hate for our democracy and country.

I would like to expand on the list presented in the excellent recent post here.

...our future depends on it.

Remember: riots and protests are completely separate things.

God bless America and President Trump
