The mostly peaceful people are out again.

After all the police reform that has been passed I’m shocked they’re still doing this.

Fascism:

characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy

It's actually kind of insane how closely the "Antifa" and BLM lunatics align with this definition. It is also crazy how many countless millions of dollars have been paid to BLM specifically over the last several months by corporations. I know it's essentially protection money but yikes.

lol

[shafnutz05]

Also, the more the public sees the left wing fanatics destroy everything in sight, the more voters it will drive to the right. I recognize that Biden does not represent the "Far Left", of course.

[Gaucho]

There is so much people are said to be driven to the right by it makes you wonder how much driving they really need.

[Trip McNeely]

Fascism and communism. I gotta hand it to the left, it’s pretty difficult to juggle two opposite political philosophies.

[DigitalGypsy66]

It's almost like the keyboard warriors on social media need a political science class or two.

This is a disgrace.

Not opposite, both authoritarian. I don’t think there are really any true opposites with regards to how these social philosophies are applied. Like, crony capitalism and communism are closer to each other than say, socialism and communism.

blm and Antifa are more akin to guerilla movements in my opinion. I think you are for one exaggerating “forcible suppression of Opposition” and also conflating street demonstrations with people on twitter attacking each other.

Fascism is more about single party control of the government, to then violently clamp down on political opposition.

I'll vote for whoever stops saying "this is INSANE"

Trump Calls for Firing of Fox Reporter Who Confirmed Atlantic Article on Veterans

This is INSANE

[Gaucho]

Terrifying.

[Trip McNeely]

It was all fake news from what I was told yesterday on 5AF

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

this is why I don’t understand people on this board who claim to dislike Trump but still defend him. You can’t POSSIBLY defend this guy.

This isn’t a “my team vs your team” thing. I don’t have a team; I consider myself a radical centrist


Trump has been equivocally horrific for this country. That’s not to say that other politicians aren’t bad; Pelosi at the salon for example was dreadful

But Trump is, as I’ve said before, undeniably one of the worst presidents ever. I don’t care that he’s a Republican; that doesn’t matter to me. He’s a narcissistic child who is gaming the system because he knows what sells

He is helping accelerate the dissolution of civility in this country

[MWB]

It’s not a defense, it’s an attempt to prove the trump haters are hypocrites.

[grunthy]

No one here defends trump. It is what people do when they can’t argue back, so they lash out and start accusing people of things.

[MWB]

And while most of the time it’s not a defense, it certainly does have the effect of normalizing his behavior, whether intentionally or not.

[grunthy]

Respectfully disagree.
