This is evidence of a coordinated campaign to deprive Ivanka Trump of her livelihood. What is the moral case for this, other than the fact that she helps campaign for her father?
It wasn't too long ago that Brendan Eich was the target of retribution for a thousand dollar donation he made to California's Prop. 8. The gay mafia laid in wait for six years before they forced him to resign as CEO of Mozilla Corp.
Eich's contribution, at the time, corresponded to the publicly stated positions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The candidacy of Donald Trump, on the other hand, comports with no commonly accepted norms. In the aftermath of the third Presidential debate, New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait declared that Trump was a "domestic insurrectionist."
It's just another way of calling him a Nazi. It does put Trump in some providential company.
King George III of England considered the founding fathers to be insurrectionists. Every single one of them placed their lives and property at risk. Should they have lost, they would have been hanged, and everything they owned would have been confiscated.
The coordinated state media's use of hyperbole has put Trump's life at risk. Obama probably wouldn't drone him if he won the election, but you never know. Certainly, the business empire that Trump has built, his posterity, has become ripe for forfeiture.
Good thing you decided not to contribute to his campaign. You thought about buying a hat, but inertia ensued. Now that you think about it, a campaign contribution in 2016 could haunt you ten years from now, so why bother? Maybe you should scrutinize my Twitter timeline and emails while you're at it.
Two hundred forty years ago, the men of New England presented the King with a list of grievances. Among them,
"He has refused his Assent to Laws"
"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance"
"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone"
In two hundred and forty years, what, exactly, has changed? Not one blessed thing. Then, as now, there were men of good will and faith who realized, with clear eyes, that their bygone reactions to countless insults just would not do.
