re: The Left is making such a HUGE mistake here. Most just want to blow off steam online.

As a movement, they have been against minority voting for decades.


So the swing state of Georgia with a Republican legislature and governor that passed legislation that got 97% of eligible minorities registered to vote was against minority voting?

ABSOLUTELY Georgia was...Kemp did everything but pass a direct poll tax to become governor. He did it too soon and failed to make it permanent and the people thus disenfranchised took issue and made certain they were registered and able to vote. Kemp's over reach is as directly responsible for Georgia being blue this cycle as any single action. I know most of you will discount this but you do so at your own peril and without any basis other than you want to believe it ain't so.


Kemp threw people of the voter rolls left and right....legally. He did not do anything wrong....but he did make those people, who are notoriously un-willing to go to the polls, make certain to do so this time around. Kemp failed to come up with a way to keep them off the rolls because there is no legal way to do so....Kemp reminded them they were not registered when normally they would have simply assumed they were and would have not made the effort to vote as they ALWAYS do. Kemp would have lost the governors race without this but Trump and the GOP would have won the general in November.....easily....had Kemp not reminded a little over a million Georgians to register to vote and, in the process, give Stacey Abrams the ammunition she needed to convince them they were being disenfranchised because whitey is mean, Georgia would have been as red as it has been for years.

And yet all of that was cheered on a promoted with the riots during the summer.

I sincerely hope the right clings to this analogy, ill conceived though it is, and corelates the purely American action of protesting with attempting to overthrow the United States government for now and forever. The American people who do not stand with radicals of any stripe willing to overthrow the US Government will see the not so subtle differences between riots of any sort and a failed coup attempt. Protests and riots are as American as apple pie and baseball.....undermining the institutions of government by conducting a coup which fails is a whole 'nother can of worms and it is not lost on the majority of Americans. Setting police cars afire is reprehensible...entering the capital with hand cuffs while a gallows is being erected on the capital steps with a crowd calling for the lynching of the Vice President of the United States is infinitely more so.

It was a mistake and will cost the GOP dearly going forward and the nation will pay as well because it has set in motion the very over reach that the GOP has rightfully claimed the Democrats will take in the absence of a viable opposition party. The GOP has ensured there is no viable opposition for the foreseeable future.

I'd love to see a bunch of quotes from prominent Democrat elected officials calling out Antifa.

I take your point and accept it completely.....so the right is as bad as the left and many of you despise the left yet accept the right as infallible. Strange that.


Instead of asking what the left has done why not present a Democratic president who has encouraged an angry mob by telling them "We will stop the steal. We’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol…We’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones…the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country". What about a democratic sycophant who calls for a "trial by combat" at the same rally?

The left does stupid shite and y'all are right in calling them out. It is disingenuous to state the left is horrible and when the right does equally horrible shite it is acceptable because the left does it. It would be akin to calling out a child molester and then supporting another child molester because the first sick bastard molested a child....

I wish you’d go away into the dark.

All I saw was a mostly peaceful protest.

Dude - both sides are against Antifa and the other apolitical revolutionary anarchists.

Plenty of prominent democrats are on record either supporting ANTIFA/BLM or pretending like they’re not a threat at all. Hell, Beijing Joe said ANTIFA is “just an idea”.

you are a liar and nothing else.
