Peaceful protest is fine. A January 6th repeat is not. I guess we'll see. IMO.There's nothing wrong with people protesting this indictment. JMO.

<modsnip - off topic>Sadly I have to agree. In hundreds of years American society has never been where it is now.
Things are vastly different than they were in decades past.
During my long lifetime, I've learned to never say never. No one knows what the future holds. Both of these political parties, (I'm not a member of either) seem to be on a long path to battle it out and using our taxpayer money at that.I don’t think security would be an issue with any previous president in my long lifetime. Not only has there been no reason to indict any other President except Nixon, but I can’t imagine that any other former president (even Nixon) would call for demonstrations at his arraignment and use incendiary language about the DA. So yes, this situation highly unusual.

I agree, let’s hope his predictions of “death and destruction” are wrong this timeThere's nothing wrong with people protesting this indictment. JMO.

Anyone can protest anything they want in the United States. JMO.Doesn't make sense to since nobody has seen it. Unless the point is Trump should never be indicated for anything.
It does surprise me. Other politicians have been prosecuted and convicted without calling for violence.If he felt he was being unfairly centered out?
I'm not saying Trump is actually being unfairly targetted ( he may be, I have no idea, I don't trust any of them, they're all corrupt), but if any high profile politician with significant support felt they were being treated as such, I do suspect they'd do the same exact thing.
This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

It may be senseless to you, but as long as it's within the confines of the law, it's perfectly legal.Yep, people are free to make senseless protests. I agree.

Just like any other protest, whether any of us agree with them or not.
I believe the article used the word "plurality" , simply meaning a large number of people or things. A synonym could be the word "multitude".
Thanks. That is the report I saw. Unprecedented.
We the people have a constitutional right to protest, especially our government.Anyone can protest anything they want in the United States. JMO.
I don't agree with his comments. I was going to add something else but decided not to. Sorry.We the people have a constitutional right to protest, especially our government.
However, I am uncomfortable with a government figure, a POTUS or an ex POTUS, calling on people to protest in his behalf and the inclusion of violent rhetoric like “death and destruction could come down on the United States if I am indicted”.
He’s using his incredible power and influence to lead people which is much different than a grassroots protest.
Well said!We the people have a constitutional right to protest, especially our government.

The Jan 6th protest was not in the "confines of the law" which is why the Special Counsel is investigating Trump's role in it.It may be senseless to you, but as long as it's within the confines of the law, it's perfectly legal.

The plurality system is the simplest means of determining the outcome of an election. To win, a candidate need only poll more votes than any other single opponent; he need not, as required by the majority formula, poll more votes than the combined opposition.The article did use the word, ‘plurality’ but it has a precise meaning, in the context of voting or polling. So ‘multitude’ is not a synonym.
If there are three or more choices or candidates, the one that gets the most votes, (but less than 50%,) has a plurality of the votes.

When it comes to elections, do you need a majority or plurality of the vote to win? It helps to remember what each term means first.www.dictionary.com
