Donald Trump

He can’t even put aside his lies long enough to tell his followers to stop rioting. WTF

Illhan Omar tweeted she's drawing up articles of impeachment.

Haha.

If I remember correctly, four years ago when I - and a lot of other people - didn't like the idea of this dipshit being president we protested. It was called the Women's March. It had unprecedented turnout across the country, actually. And not one of us stormed the insides of the Capitol.

back on july 27th, trump tweeted that any "protestors who vandalize or damage...any federal buildings in any of our cities and states, will be prosecuted....minimum 10 years in prison". 

Should have been the case then and should still be the case now with these idiots.
All in all, it still looks “mostly peaceful” though, ha

i'm not sure how this in any way compares to legitimate BLM protests. yes, some opportunists looted and rioted. i don't recall any of them ever trying to take over the US government. 

I just thought we were talking about destroying federal buildings?  That definitely happened.  But all is good, if you look, it is “mostly peaceful” out there...except for some woman getting shot in the chest by the FBI I guess.

interesting how you find these two situations even remotely comparable. 

I do not find the two groups comparable at all, but their methods are very similar.  

Herds following their leaders to their own demise while their leaders sit comfortably in their mansions.

interesting....i'd like to know the names of the leaders of BLM and Antifa, so i can look up where their mansions are located. 

I don’t recall mentioning “BLM” or “Antifa” here...
I was referring to those that are the left wing and claim to be BLM or Antifa vs those on the right wing that claim to be patriots or conservative.  I get it, it’s hard to see through the muddied water.  The horseshoe theory is real.

congratulations. you're in great company.

Ignore the troll or this thread is going to devolve and be shut down. Just ignore him.

Yes, some here cannot control themselves and start resorting to personal attacks.  Best to ignore if you cannot control your behavior.

For the record, I wasn't referring to you if that's what was thought. I just disagreed with your comparison and found it unrelated to the events and actions of what is happening today.

I get it, but what is happening today really doesn’t surprise me in the least.  Destroying property “breaking shit” and out of control idiots on the streets has become the normal way of “protesting”.  I think it’s guided by social media, honestly.  Thanks Facebook...

yes, 400 hundred years of oppression, state sponsored murder, slavery; those are the same as trying a treasonous coup to stop a constitutionally mandated process of officially naming the new president of the united states because a carnival barker tells you lies you are desperate to believe. 

sure. yeah. let's go with that. 

Yeah, you’re not following at all.  That is such a straw man, I don’t even know where to begin.  Just imagine if those causing the most upheaval in the BLM protests were not black...Just imagine those true conservatives out there rolling their eyes at a bunch of idiots destroying the White House worshipping their king Cheeto while they felt compelled to vote across party lines for the first time.  The ends of the horseshoe are destroying the government because they have become the most important people politically...the squeaky wheels getting the attention.
I believe the majority of people are not violent extremists at the far reaches of one ideology or another, but the extremists are the ones getting attention and catered to, so why shouldn’t they be that way?
Personally, I’m thankful to have a new “conservative liberal” administration coming to POTUS office (as much as I like to poke fun at his gaffs).
I’m tired of extremists sabotaging every issue and ideology under the sun...same as black people were pissed at a bunch of white “BLM supporters” tearing up their neighborhoods.

First time the capitol building has been breached since the British did it in 1814.  Fucking nuts.

haha, yes, i am following. you are equating those who get violent during protests, you specifically mentioned federal buildings, then claimed you "never said antifa or blm", then in the same post mentioned antifa and blm LOL, but that's obviously who you're referring to. those aren't the far left. the far left are communists and true socialists, marxists, etc. 

if you think being an someone who is anti-fascist is far left, hmmmm......

you and are very rarely, if ever, see any of the "radical" left in reality.

Not saying this is what you're doing but I've seen a lot of people try to compare today to what we saw last summer. Problem is that most of the protests last summer were peaceful. It was the anarchists who came out in the evening that caused the riots and violence etc etc etc. Maybe antifa? Maybe proud boys dressed up as antifa? Maybe other shady groups? There were conflicting reports all year long, but they were not the folks peacefully protesting during the day time. 

In contrast: today, we have domestic terrorists hijacking the capital building all in the name of one, Donald J Trump....even says so on all their dumb flags. 

It's all wrong, but the one main difference is the extremists today are doing this at the behest of the fucking president, who should be removed from office asap.

Simply critique today's action. Or don't. I don't really care but when you start talking about other actions that are "just as bad" or even "almost as bad," it's going to be seen as tacit approval of today's activities.

I agree, 100%.  And I hope Biden is able to call out his emboldened extremists once he is in office.  My worry is that this behavior trends, regardless of what the cause is.  Yes, “people on both sides” (I said it). need to grow the fuck up and act with a grain of sanity when they are angry...less this trend becomes “trendier” (is that a word? Ha).  

I, for one, do not feel empowered by either of these “sides” of the political spectrum these days.
There are liberal “causes” and conservative “causes” I agree with and disagree with...Where does that leave me?  Exactly...nowhere in today’s extremist climate.

Can anyone here point to any BLM’ers or ANTIIIIIIIFA members who have been indicted or convicted of any crimes during this past summer’s protests?

To someone that cannot see beyond their political party’s shades, yes.
 Today’s actions are disgusting, but not surprising.

The disgusting part is that the the president encouraged it.  That's the fucking difference

I heard this same rhetoric from the right when 6 officers were shot in Dallas...
Anyways, I’m out, enjoy the show everyone!

And George Floyd and all the other blacks murdered never happened or justice was meted out through established legal processes and those responsible were held accountable. But you know, both sides are the same.

No. My point was the folks causing damage last summer were NOT Biden supporters. Either way, Biden forcefully condemned it multiple times last year.

Today, these terrorists are CLEARLY Donald Trump supporters. We know that because they wore their fucking Donald Trump uniforms and flew their god awful Donald Trump Rambo flags. 

Sorry man. There is no "both sides" regarding republicans and democrats here. We are talking about extremist Trump terrorists and a bunch of anarchists whose political affiliation is not clearly known.
