I don’t know when it is the right time to say that 1700 white people have been killed by police to about 550 blacks, since 2017. I don’t even know if that would make a difference. Their pain is real and I am not sure how to respond to it.


For starters.. agree with the premise and help them fix it

I would start with how many were justified. Then I would find out how many were cop by suicide, then I would ask of the handful left how many saw an officer charged. Then I would show them the uncharged murders in the US for the same timeframe and point out that uncharged murder rate involving cops is .1% of uncharged murders in this country and while it’s possible it’s also extremely unlikely to happen. With almost zero chance if you don’t put yourself in a position (i e illegal activity) to force a tense interaction with police.

That’s how I would respond. Explain it’s overblown and include personal responsibility

The next step is to bring this to rural America. Things will get real fast. They have an agenda and they want all out civil war to weaken us for a foreign invasion.

Not another. Many more. They've been rolling along since Trump got elected. There will be more "incidents" on election night 2020 and well beyond if the president wins reelection.

Strange..........but through 3 1/2 years these incidents created by Trump opponents have become predictable. I'm sick of the opponents and their tactics.

Disagree. THEY want to be in charge. Maybe not of the entire country or even a city, but they want to be able to do whatever they want to whomever they want and whenever they want with no repercussions. At the same time they also don't want to be the victim of such a scenario (ie: they only want it as long as it benefits them).

Every single one of them sees themselves as this in that sort of world:





In reality though they would all end up being this:

Right.

The GOP Convention and the city it is held in will be targeted. The message is any locale hosting that event will be destroyed. The left cannot afford to let AlzheimerJoe out of the basement, and cannot allow a GOP convention to strike a comparison between Trump and Biden.

They cannot afford Trump campaigning. Therefore, anywhere a Trump campaign event is held, paid AntifaCommunists will attack. Their obsequious media will bill any birddogging of Trump Supporters by Antifa as aggression by Trump "white supremacist thugs" against innocent "protestors".

You forgot one HIGE possible player.....do you think CHINA wants DT re-elected.....to his credit he has called them out for who they are.....an enemy of America. Am hoping the designation of ANTIFA AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION will allow an investigation who is funding, coordinating and puppeteering their crap.

I also truly believe that the Democrats and the media have a vested interested in stoking the fire and inciting riots They are doing this because they completely believe that this will get trump out of the White House


Here is my problem with the logic:

Anti-Trump people are destroying our cities.
Therefore, citizens who are frightened and disgusted with this destructive behavior shall get back at these anti-Trump people by voting Trump out of office.

That doesn't make any sense.

My point is that it is illogical to blame Trump for destruction caused by anti-Trumpers. It's only logical if the destruction was caused by a bunch of right wing republicans wearing MAGA hats.

As much as I bitch about leftists - we’re all just people. One of my favorite expressions are: We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Events like the Floyd death we see as “we are.” We’re either defensive bc we identify with him, or defensive bc we identify with the cops.

Where I depart from leftists is the inability to see that the shite they consistently advocate for has been tried over, and over, and over again- fails. And that they are usually too stupid to see that the policies they claim they are advocating against (fascism/discrimination) is usually what they are actually unwittingly advocating FOR! (Look at people only as members of their “group/government forced loving each other).

Floyd’s death and the moronic leftist Gvt that allowed its cops to remain employed after multiple complaints, needs to be investigated by the Fed Gvt to make sure that no state is violating due process.

Antifa needs to be dismantled And jailed like the terrorist POS they are. And their A portion of assets should be given over to Floyd’s family - and the remainder to the businesses they harmed.

This is precisely why it was important for trump to label Antifa as a terrorist organization.

Everything you mentioned above already took place in 2016 before the election. Trump supporters were beaten by Antifa.

The convention in Cleveland was relatively calm.

But the campaign rallies were nightmares in blue states.

The media will have to finally call Antifa for what it is sooner or later.

What's going on is Democrats fricking things up for black people again.

Antifa democrats making damage doesnt help a fair protest by blacks.

Poor democrat blacks doing stupid stuff doesnt help either.
