    BLM is not violent. It is a social justice movement. Those who looted and/or committed arson last summer did not represent BLM.

    Did I say BLM? Can you find the quote on that?
    Here's your quote: "There is no political or social movement which produces or encourages such property damage."
    That is an incorrect, rather overbroad statement.

    "There is no political or social movement which produces or encourages that". ROFL, who are you trying to fool, the PF community or yourself bro? If the DP really didn't endorse this, when Trump wanted to assist the cities such as Chicago and Portland, they would have gladly accepted federal assistance but they didn't.

    They can't claim "no political or social movement" and then endorse, if not tacitly with their words then with actions or non-actions said activity. Sorry, it's the left's baby as much as these shouters are the right's baby.

    Flailing? No. Looking for a gotcha? No. Pointing out your statement is laughably incorrect? Yes.

    I gave you ample examples of what I was referring to. You simply chose to ignore them.

    Dude, like so many others here, you don't think. You just absorb right wing talking points and regurgitate them here.

    Don't waste my time.

    The left stormed the Kavanaugh hearings, they looted Target stores and called Trump supporters uneducated deplorables and worse. They attacked us non stop on social media and attacked Trump and his family. Snoop Dog said we should Pimp out Melania Trump...

    Let's not forget Milo Yianopoulos back in I believe 2017 going to Berkley to speak and being met with a large crowd protesting and lighting stuff on fire. All he was going to do was hold a speech but they did not like his conservative views so they became very hostile.

    Kaitlin Bennet went to a college to interview some students more recently and found herself surrounded by a crowd of angry young people who were screaming, throwing water and being hostile.

    Patriot Prayer and others held a rally in Portland Oregon. (One of many) They were peacefull the entire time but the media tried to hide that fact. The hostile left showed up and became so violent some were arrested. Reporters like Andy Ngo were assaulted with objects to the head. As the conservatives left they were assaulted by violent Protestors. John Turano and his daughter were attacked. The full video showed John on the ground being kicked in by almost a dozen people before managing to get up and run.

    I remember in another state conservatives were leaving a rally and were attacked in a parking garage.

    Back in 2016 a man died in a ambulance because protestors refused to stop blocking the road to show how angry they were Trump won. The ambulance could not get to the hospital. I doubt a single protestor cares that he died.

    It's funny they try to say conservatives are violent and point to the tea party but the tea party stayed off the road and mostly held up signs peacefully. They also reference Proud Boys but all of the videos I have seen showed them defending themselves from Antifa.


    It's hard for me to care when these people cry about Republicans but ignore so much violence on the other side. I hate double standards.

    I hate to be captain obvious here but it might have something to do with the fact you are judging about 73 million people by the actions of a handful and the best you got is "but they do it too"? Well, go on witchya bad self! And you realize, hyperbolic exaggerations like your statement here ------> " Judgments and absurd accusations against "the left" are all I've seen here for years now." <-------- are not helping your case? Words have meanings and those meanings matter.

    Right wing talking points feed into the radicalization evident in my OP and helped give us January 6th. Millions of people are misled by Trump and wingnut media, both of the Fox variety and of the purely fake news variety.

    So many people are so badly deceived and so angry and even violent over what they believe, yet it's all a pack of trumpian lies and partisan propaganda.

    Where are the actual videos of the event? What are the specifics of the "disruption"? Then you have the MSNBC spokeshole call the opponent a Nazi.

    I know this woman, she's a local scumbag hack politician. She cannot be trusted. Why was only her supporter arrested? lol

    Irvine has become heavily Asian populated. She likely realizes she is toast and this is the campaign for "outrage". Look at all the Leftists that will fall for it blindly. What a joke they have become.

    You mean like how for 8 years whenever someone tried to criticize Obama those one the left would bring up "But BUSH!!!!" And even now when someone makes a thread about Biden its "But TRUMP!!!".

    And yes, Repubs do the same. Its not just the left.

    In essence... welcome to politicalforum.com. (or any other political forum)

    Nor is it pointless. It would only be pointless if one side did not do what the other is hollering about and visa versa. Maybe we could get past it if both sides admitted that they were wrong in doing X. But that doesn't happen. You made a thread purposefully hollering about Republican's doing the very same things that Democrats did. And you will not acknowledge that they did it. Indeed you have tried to deflect away and deny that they have done it. Maybe if you had acknowledged it right off the bat instead of being purely partisan in your posts this thread might have gone beyond the normal whataboutism and accomplished what you wanted. But you didn't. So....here we are.

    You could not seem to find any criticism for a summer (and more) of riots, nationwide. Is it not a reasonable conclusion to draw?

    We spoke mostly about Trump when he was president. I don't recall alot of threads deflecting to Obama. There was some but not alot.

    Sure both sides do it but one side takes it to a whole new level.
