This "feels" different though. There is an air of increasingly open hostility amongst the #nevertrumpers. We never had anti-anybody "protest" (riots), never beat up Obama voters, or ripped those stupid stickers off their cars, or vandalized their yard signs. There was no march after his inauguration.
We are accused of being violent, racists, homo-islamo-xeno-phobic, yet look where all that behavior is coming from. (Its not from the right side of the fence, or even the middle).

It feels different because it is different.
Anti-Obama was predominantly anti left, anti-community organizer, anti-incompetence and yes some "anti's" were undoubtably based on a race. But, there was no apparent commitment to violence.
In contrast, there is now a convergence of dissidents again advocating loudly for total social revolution. And, the commitment to violence is palpable and lurks just under the surface.
Mike Flynn is but one scalp in this war of ideas - and he may have even handed them the knife.
