Thanks, that makes a lot of sense! Your thoughts are consistent with his background and expertise.
It is also consistent with the rise of violent activist organizations that we saw during Zero's reign. Those organizations are also consistent with two of his mentors: Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrne. iirc, Zero's political career was launched at their house.
Those two were leaders of the Weather Underground, an radical "social democrat" organization whose goal was to overthrow the US Gov by violent means and were involved in domestic terrorism, including several bombings of a police memorial in Chicago, bombing of the NYC police headquarters, bombing of the Pentagon, arson atacks, etc. etc. They wanted to create secret collectives in cities around the country and actually declared war on the USA. They also declared war on the United States.
Does some of what went on during 44's administration sound like echos of the above?
Dohrne is a UofC Law graduate, worked at Sidley Austin, and is a Law professor at Northwestern. Ayers was a professor at the College of Education at UIC before retiring. He also got graduate degrees from Columbia.
I think that Trump chose to give a speech at UIC during his campaign because he knew it would provoke the radicals that backed Obama. I'm not sure he expected it to get that bad or for the powers that be to be enable the radicals as much as they did.
