There you go again with "THUGS" . What about those white drivers that violated the traffic laws and made turns against the signals? What do you call them. Maybe these protestors had had enough of being almost run over?

These are public streets, where the COPS don't have to monitor everyone all the damn time. Maybe in whatever police state you live in that is expected, but not in the USA.

So when you repost tweets from a racist lying coward that was not there, and does not know where the cops were, and then you ask where were the cops; Maybe it is time you start to think about why there were no mass Maydays and riots coming out of portand on Oct 6. But go on with your racist thread that has no basis in any real reality outside of the right wing racist whip.

Literally everything is racist to you people. You are so dull, boring, and predictable. If you haven’t noticed, it’s not working anymore guys. Maybe try persuasion for once?

We tried to go high when you all went low and you all laughed and called us names. We went lower when you all went low and you all cried and whined and told us how immature we were. We carried torches and shouted and you all told us how crazy and unhinged we were.

WE LITERALLY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU RIGHTIES DID FIRST!!!!

Maybe it is not us who need to stop being dull, boring, and predictable anymore. Maybe it is you righties that need to stop being racist and stop whining and and stop name calling and try persuasion for once?

Remember if the Democrats win, it will be Mob Rule. M.M. Mass hysteria being whipped up from the right side once again.

Who said I was a Trump supporter? I didn’t vote for him in 2016 and likely won’t in 2020. Your concern is probably less with me and more with the 80% of the public that is sick and tired of politically correct bullies harassing them about being “racist misogynists” every 5 minutes. The public is catching on that 20% of the public is trying to prevent the other 80% from just going about their lives, and the harassment tactics don’t work anymore.

Unlike you Mav, my first instinct isn’t to deny these groups even exist. It’s easy to condemn the group, who are idiots.

Well these 80%ers are undoubtedly morons wasting their time worrying about what they’re allowed and not allowed to say. If you have to think twice about not using a racial slur in public, or telling people of the same sex you don’t approve of their marriage, or calling people who peacefully protest “thugs” who “hate America,” maybe YOU are, indeed, the problem. Grow up ... what a bunch of absolute cry babies.

Wonder who could’ve told them that this is even a thing? Could it be Tucker Carlson and his cohorts?

The Right-Wing Persecution Complex in this country is off the rails (as is evidenced by the fact that this nothingburger thread even exists in the first place ... but I guess some of us have a (freequent) flair for sed-indulgent drama).

You probably haven't stopped and considered for a single solitary second that maybe you no longer actually represent the views of the minorities you claim to champion.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... ss/572581/

Whites are ever so slightly less likely than average to believe that political correctness is a problem in the country: 79 percent of them share this sentiment. Instead, it is Asians (82 percent), Hispanics (87percent), and American Indians (88 percent) who are most likely to oppose political correctness.

Reality keeps slapping you in the face, but you keep hitting the snooze button.

Says the thread starter that copied and parroted a racist lying coward to start this thread.

The exact quote is “80% think political correctness is a problem.”

But if you’re Free, that of course translates into “80% of the country is tuning Democrats out and, by extension, support Donald Trump.”

I guess he hasn’t looked at the polls about the majority of Americans disagreeing with Barty O’Kavanaugh’s appointment. I guess that means a majority of Americans want Elizabeth Warren to be president.

Read through any political post. It is RIGHT WINGERS who are whining about not being heard and it is RIGHT WINGERS demanding everyone fall in line. It is RIGHT WINGERS who refuse to kick white nationalists/KKK/neo Nazis out of their party, and even embrace them! Even when these "fine people" murder others!

Here's Trump praising a republican congressman for body slamming a journalist, while simultaneously waffling about the Saudi murder of a journalist:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45913921

I'm sure loads of GOP will bravely not speak out against it this time either. Antifa ain't got nothin' on the GOP when it comes to violence.

There is really no comparison.

Radio ad in Arkansas suggests 'lynching' if Democrats win

https://www.chron.com/news/article/Radi ... ipid=hpctp

God this is so stupid and blatantly wrong. I'm from the metro area and this couldn't be any farther from the truth. About every month or so, a far-right group from Vancouver, WA - Patriot Prayer - has a rally in downtown Portland. They gather under the guise of "free speech protection" and "Christianity" but it's all very disingenuous. You get guys wearing t-shirts praising the murderous dictator Pinochet and calling for Operation Condor-style death flights, people on megaphones describing how Latin American immigrants should be attacked, dudes with signs calling the local queer community pedophiles and devil worshipers, confederate flag wavers, and numerous honest-to-God, self-described white nationalists. Every single goddamn time, without fail, they end up ganging up on and attacking someone, generally smaller protesters and random passersby who just so happen to be in the vicinity of the rally rather than people their own size. It's not a pretty sight.

The cops and the mayor don't care. The cops even show up and protect these people, and a big thing recently in the media here was how the cops allowed them to have a cache of weapons on top of a building, whereas they usually confiscate flagpoles and anything else that could be potentially used as a weapon from protesters and anti-fascist demonstrators.

Granted, this is just all from my own experiences. I have witnessed numerous of these rallies in person and have kept in touch with the people who report on them from the anti-fascist side. I was even attacked by Proud Boys last year while at one of these events. These aren't people with good intentions, they aren't showing up to promote freedom or to spread Christly love to their neighbors, they're coming to intimidate vulnerable communities in Portland.

If any of you have any questions about this whole thing, feel free to ask me.

Frankly, I’d rather take a random sample of the Nicaraguan caravan, and give them immediate citizenship with the struggles they went through getting families up to the US border, if we could only trade Zippy the Pinhead mouthbreathing ultra-conservative Neo-Nazi types in return.

Yeah, it really is that mf’ing simple.

Its going to be a wonderful day when the republicans get their comeuppance. Its going to violent and its going to be wonderful.

"In a 2003 incident, Bush was charged with menacing for following a 15-year-old into a movie theater bathroom and putting his hands around her waist. Bush told the girl he "thought we were family" and the girl pushed him away, according to the arrest record."
