Yes, looks like the trucker committed a hate crime.

They probably missed because they couldn't decide which they hated worse the MAGA flag or the American flag.  This is getting serious   All of you with legal means should be carrying all the time no exception.

Yes, this is getting very serious.  It appears the media and the liberal left are openly condoning and at times implicitly encouraging a violent overthrow of the legally elected government of the United States.  This is like a surreal dream, a nightmare that hasn't been seen at this critical a point since 1860.  This is coming to a head, and it may be sooner than later.  Many are trying to ignore what's happening by making jokes, albeit with a nervous laugh.  Those who would try to make the blind masses see what is in their near future are like the prophet crying in the wilderness, being called fear-mongers, right wing nuts, haters, and worst of all "republicans". 

I see no near-term solution to this crisis, and it is a crisis.   The flames are being fanned constantly by those who will stop at no level of illegality and violence in order to overthrow the government.  Trump is not the cause of this.  Trump is a convenient excuse to justify what what would have been done a little further down the road anyway.  This is no longer along political lines, although nearly all Democrats are involved, as every day there seems to be more and more Republicans and "conservatives" joining the ranks of the neo-Bolsheviks and wannabe bomb-throwing anarchists.  Sometimes it looks like Trump is standing alone, with even his closest erstwhile allies having turned against him. 

Am I cynical?  Probably.  Am I pessimistic?  Definitely, because I see millions of people with their heads in the sand hoping it will all go away if they just toke a joint and watch another rerun of American Idol.  Wake up folks!  Unless the knight on his white charger gets here real soon, you don't have much time.

There is a knight on a white charger coming alright, just not the one most people think -- think the first horseman in Revelation.

Amen, @Mom MD , not just to the advice that we carry our weapons wherever we can, but on the possible implication of what's going on in the world. (Your comment reminded me of one of my favorite Second Chapter of Acts songs, "Well, Haven't you Heard?")

True, but I think maybe the Red Horse has already arrived.
