re: Protestors and the Silent Majority - we have been doing this wrong, look at the numbers

I'm an independent, probably not voting this year due to two terrible choices if that answers your questions. I just want someone capable of forward thinking and solving the problems that have been stacking up in the country for the last several decades.
Really don't care if they have a D or an R next to their name if they are honest, have genuine intentions to help and are forward thinking. Unfortunately that probably disqualifies 95% of our public officials.

Lenin and his Bolsheviks overthrew Czarist Russia with just 3% of the population.
Meh.
The Bolsheviks were only 3% of the population but the vast majority of the Russian population abhorred the Czar leading into the 1917 revolution. The Czar was getting overthrown, the question was who would fill the void in power.

yeah there was a thread a few days ago with the Bama NAACP demands and it was mostly reasonable
this reminds me of a few weeks ago when MAGA folks were all upset at the FBI illegally targeting Flynn and i made this very point (about how they need to accept this as a macro issue). i was, apparently, not persuasive
Ya we can start with that list - there was only one on the list I took issue with.

If people would stop fanning the flames of racial division and it viewed the movement as a purely citizens vs police brutality situation, we would likely have already seen some reform.
Agreed but it’s both sides.
The GOP could make great strides in rolling out a major police reform proposals across the country. Trump started some of this with his criminal justice reform.
But a lot of GOP voters would rather yell stupid shite like “All Lives Matter” instead of critical analyze some of these issues.

Have you ever gone to a doctor who was being a dick and thought they were untouchable? These people exist in every segment of our society.

While this might be true, you can't really say that then also use the fact that more white people are killed by cops each year than black people.
Fact is there needs to be police reform, but this is not a race issue. And the fact that these protests only happen after a black person is killed shows that this is purely political garbage.

Meanwhile 97% of our society is going to work, feeding our kids and being held hostage to these peoples shouted demands as they throw temper tantrums and burn our businesses?
Nah. Number is no where near that high.
You gotta factor in the over privileged white women who are protesting via Instagram stories and the sissy white guys who are protesting behind their keyboards.

And it’s stupid because it’s completely tone deaf. And it alienates people you are supposedly trying to make inroads with.

We are wasting so much money and seeing no kind of positive results.
When govt. just ain't getting it done, we need more govt.!
What we need are more laws to regulate the laws we are already overburdened with!
Needs more money thrown at it too, that solves everything!

I certainly believe that the way weed charges are dealt out is a race issue. If someone has confirmed stats to disprove that I'd be all ears but it doesn't seem that way.
Start with legalizing pot and pardoning people in prison for low level, non-violent pot charges.

Such a dumb statement.

Why not make that the core of the movement anyway?
If you remove the racial aspects, that more than likely wouldn’t occur.
Instead, you have people believing, not completely unjustified, that they are being demonized for the color of their skin.
How would you expect people to react to that?
the reasoning for all of this is simple: the architects of these concepts and the word soup don't give a frick about racism
this is just about creating conflict and division b/c the narrative is being created/spread by Marxists disguised as academics/intellectuals

OR you could reduce the money spent on war on drugs type shite, put some of that towards police reform.

And it’s only going to get worse in coming years as our economy changes due to technology.
A lot of conservatives are really going to have to come to terms with the fact that “if you just work hard in America, you can make it” will no longer be viable.
