Liberals never see the unintended consequences. In the early 90's they passed a luxury tax on yachts to 'soak the rich'. What REALLY happened? Middle class boat workers were laid off as the boats became too expensive.

So, with all the censorship of conservatives and Trump supporters, and the violent tactics used to 'keep them in line', what is the unforeseen unintended consequence?

Culturally, Trump supporters will develop a subtle kinship with blacks. Trump already has gained some black support and actually did better in this past elections with minorities than the vast majority of Republicans. Now, the plight of conservatives will start to subtly resonate with the black experience.

We will end up having much more in common with blacks and that crack may very well start to spread. We already know that the black community tends to be more religious and is actually more socially conservative than they vote.

Look for the LEFT to become 'the man' now. And look for conservatives to start to make more inroads to masses of people that the democrats have always depended upon to stay in office. Won't be overnight. But I think this is a distinct possibility.

We haven't lost a thing. We are in the fight. Time for action. No voice/vote? No taxes and we will make it very hard for them to do business.

Well... us going to Heaven and THEM going to hell...

That would seem to qualify as an unintended consequence...

You left out the part where rich people still bought boats made elsewhere and flagged them in the Caribbean.
