The reality is that far right extremism has far surpassed left wing incidents and violence in the last decade and - get this - been on the uptick since a certain someone got more into politics then later became POTUS. Correlation isn't always causation of course, but I'd posit the outgoing POTUS hasn't helped calm tensions one bit. Far right extremism and religious attacks have accounted for the majority of recent attacks hands down.

Not to mention, the revelation that the terrorists in Michigan wanted to execute the Governor on live TV?! Who does that remind you of?

But keep telling yourselves buses full of Antifa coming to take your women & children are the real threat.

Let's really hope "law and order" isn't just some line, but I don't have high standards. Protests already started, but it took the Floyd protests several weeks to get violent:

This is why I'm so in favor of Trump doing as many recounts and investigations as possible.

I just did, and this quote from his article neatly summarizes the problem that many have with Trump supporters:

"A blind unconditional love of their leader fuels the energy and action of Trump supporters".

A blind unconditional love?!, a blind unconditional love?!

Hitler's followers had a blind unconditional love for him. He who forgets his history, is bound to repeat it. Let that be a cautionary tale.

So you're going to conveniently ignore actual data?

Besides the nonsense you posted was from 2018.
I'm not pushing a narrative, I'm showing you facts that you apparently can't process. The data could indeed shift some after this summer, but it's asinine not to view the rest in context.

True. But I wasn't referencing him as a domestic terrorist, I ws referencing him as an idiot surrounded by other idiots doing idiot things. Now 2 or 3 people are dead and he's sleeping in jail and may stay there for a while.

For racial injustice, a cop murdered a guy who happened to be black and there's a long precedent of cops murdering people (both black and white) and getting away with it. However, a lot of the poorest communities are predominantly black because of oppression that was barely a generation ago, and now cops are more active in those areas fir obvious reasons. However, the laws they operate under (qualified immunity and union protections) allow them to.commit atrocities and not be held properly accountable.

To be clear, it's not the cops personally that I have an issue with, but the laws in place. When I was in AFG, we weren't given any latitude with ROE, so if we could do it there, there's no excuse for cops in the US.

They're saying 4 to 6 weeks of lockdowns may be required. I hope we don't, but that would certainly send the right wing out into the streets!!

as it should. That's actual government overreach not the false "oppression" of non existent police brutality you people like you cry about.
So I see, verifiable data & trends don't count and those guys who wanted to kill a US Governor live on TV were just playing make believe? Got it.
