    Someone grabbed his leg and he got scared because of the toxic environment he has created. This is only going to get worse. Trump needs to go away before things get completely out of control.

    Only thing is, that is not true. The record turnout is on the Republican side of the primaries.

    It really is true though. Over 7.6 million Republicans have voted against Trump already, almost as many as the total number of people who have voted in the Democratic primary. Trump is motivating people to get out to the polls and vote against him in record numbers.

    More importantly, who will Mojoman blame when Ted Cruz is caught being peed upon by a transvestite on a rest stop on I-45?

    I called a moratorium on communicating with you a long time ago Bobby, but I am temporarily lifting that to vociferously agree with you on this.

    Trump is terrible enough to make someone like Bobby and someone like myself be on the same page. You once said you'd be interested in joining an anti-Trump militia Bobby -- I hope you weren't being flippant, because we may end up in a scenario in the near future where that is a necessity, and we'll need people besides radical leftists like myself to participate in such endeavors.

    Alright, moratorium going back up -- feel free to respond to this message if you wish though.

    You should stock up on guns, ammo and peanut butter. Probably should go with a full zombie apocalypse load out. I have a van so if I am invited let me know where the meetings are.

    Yes and we all know it is going to happen... Cruz is a deviant and it will come out.

    I remember that.

    I still largely stand by what I said, but in the event that the country elects an authoritarian dictator type that has called for torturing and murdering innocent civilians and praises the mass murder of peaceful protesters while promising the same kind of leadership......I mean, that's the time for anarchists. That would be something that could break down the bonds of society and lead to all manner of awful things. Similar things have happened time and time again in civilizations across the globe and could very well happen again.

    How many times do I have to tell you
    Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
    The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
    You're my downfall, you're my muse

    what Ted Cruz does in the privacy of public bathrooms is HIS BUSINESS and none of ours.

    If only Ted Cruz felt that way he MIGHT get my support.

    You may not remember this, but the reason I stopped talking to you is because you insisted on dismissing out of hand any perspective coming from an anarchist (just on the basis of them being an anarchist, and regardless of the point they were making), and so I, as an anarchist, thought it best not to talk about politics with you, since it wouldn't be productive for either one of us. It wasn't a negative thing toward you, just more time management really.

    Anyway, again, I am forced to speak up in order to agree with you -- that is the time for anarchists. Exactly. I think it turns out our country is a lot closer to that place than you would have expected, but I am quite glad that folks like you are able to see the necessity in radical responses to Trump -- and you are certainly not alone among liberals, conservatives and moderates in coming to this conclusion. All over this country people who have in the past thought radicals like me are completely deluded are starting to echo many of the sentiments and tactics that people like me encourage.

    More people have voted against Cruz.
    More people have voted against Rubio.
    More people have voted against Kasich.

    What you don't seem to understand is that Cruz people aren't going to be Trump voters, Rubio people aren't going to be Trump voters, Kasich people aren't going to be Trump voters.

    You have 30-40% of the Republican party that would consider voting for Trump, and the other 60-70% that would never consider voting for Trump.

    If Kasich people didn't have Kasich, they wouldn't go Trump, they'd go Rubio or Cruz. If Cruz people didn't have Cruz, they'd go Rubio or Kasich. If Rubio people didn't have Rubio, they'd go Cruz or Kasich.

    I understand your perspective, I just think that far too many anarchists just want to watch the world burn and they don't understand just how awful it would be. There is a time for tearing everything down and starting over, but it's not something that should be done lightly. Also I criticize anarchists because it's not a viable permanent state, it's nothing more than a transition period that would be fairly terrible but in extreme situations is necessary.

    If an authoritarian dictator type like Trump seized power, then it's time to tear things down but other than that, it's not worth it.

    No, actually more people have voted for Hillary in this primary season than have voted for Trump. It would be a much larger gap if it was a national election between Hillary and Trump.
