Did you take the same unbiased approach to Trump talking to another dude on a private bus or did you take that literal?

I guarantee if Trump said/says we must resist the court's decision on his immigration ban you wouldn't find that to be figurative.

I have watched this forum flooded with misspoken phrases, exaggerations, ect... called lies. However when Hills of Kaine instructs folks to fight in the street or resist their government then it is "broad words"' figural" "context-sensitive".......... 


Words like "resistance" and "fight" are used in many contexts. Yes

A person may fight off a cold. One person may have more resistance to colds than another. 

Americans commonly speak of fighting for their rights without others presuming a call for armed resistance. You may fight for your right to party or hire a lawyer to fight for your rights in divorce court. Who thinks that means bring a gun to court????  

When the Tea Party created its RESISTANCE PLEDGE to block the never Trump movement, no one assumed they were calling for violence against the Republican Party.  http://www.teaparty.org/tea-party-resistance/

The REPUBLICAN governor in this article is RESISTING a GOVERNMENT POLICY https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/04/08/gop-governors-resistance-to-obamacare-is-so-strong-that-its-jeopardizing-his-quest-for-tax-cuts/?utm_term=.ed0dc5be7735   Even Democrats don't call him a TRAITOR for urging others to resist.

Were he to take your semantic theory seriously, MLK would have been unable to fight for civil rights with NON-VIOLENT RESISTANCE to government.


Unfair as it may seem, when Hillary and Kaine use language Republicans and Democrats have used for generations to signify lawful opposition/protest of government/party policies, you cannot suddenly decide they now mean something else and be all offended because some right wingers didn't call for ARMED RESISTANCE TO FIGHT OBAMA. 

That's people generate faux scandals, generate fake news, and everyday Trumpster Muddle.
