with all the violence by the Trump rageOholics having to turn on each other indoors.

Yes, I'm thinking of the DNC in 1968. The same type of people are spoiling for a fight and 1968 was brutal. It also led to 8 years of Nixon/Ford and contributed to the rightward lurch of our own party.

I know you want your voices against Trump heard, people, but don't raise them there. Nothing will hurt those people worse than having us stay away.
