Here's a tip.

When BLM'ers march and riot, they have BLM signs.

When paid Socialist (& paid by Soros) guys in their 20s riot....they wear masks, attack people with Trump buttons or who are in their way. Also, they hit and run.


The BLM'ers are wrong (all lives matter), but they're not paid. And the paid beta males will be back in their parent's basements on Monday.
Sorry simple concepts and observations shoot right over your head.

HEY! 3M Californians voted for him, and this is in the face of knowing their votes were worthless.

If he pulls a Reagan and starts fixing things he will certainly get 4 more. The way the MSM, these protestors, and House Dems are acting it;s like they are bent on handing Trump a super majority. Things are going to be interesting in the coming two years.

Many of them, in those cities, were paid to destroy. Some just get caught up in the "I'm angry" mentality and destroy their own neighborhoods like morons. The people who actually want something to change don't seem to act violent...but they don't get on the news like the tool sheds who are doing it without, typically, having a clue why they are doing it. As long as they get that phat paycheck, or they get to destroy "some rich guy's business", what do they care about change.

I have zero respect for "protesters" who destroy other people's property and who attack other people. If you want your positions to be heard, that's not the way to do it.

I dislike rioting. I don't get the point of it at all.

I mean, if you want to attack something, just head for the source of your frustration and deal with the possible jail time and/or getting shot at.
Of course it's "Party/Ideology" specific. It's "idiocy" to say otherwise.
When/Where was the last Right Wing riot? I can't think of any and I can't find any.

RIOTS are a Leftist tool and a LEFTIST answer to whatever they don't like.
On this particular week - they are even advertising in the Media to 'hire' RIOTERS.
All because they don't like the fact that the Presumptive Queen didn't get her Crown.

Perhaps your adjectives were too complex for me Shakespeare.


BOT - The next (post 1/20) riot with "paid" protesters should be interesting.

Anonymous is not against Trump.

These are the paid protesters that a few from the left on here screamed "fake news" about. These are filthy hippie wannabes who have never had a hard day in their life, but damnit, they must "protest" against...something!

"What do you mean we have to fend for ourselves as adults? I deserve everything for free!"

And then they destroy businesses and attack people without having a clue what's going on except that someone told them something was bad. If your beef is with Trump, why do you destroy someone's business? I thought the libs were all for "the little people" like that limo driver who had worked hard to build that business. (Of course we know they aren't...they only care about themselves.)

If these protesters had actually listened to Trump's Inauguration Speech and maybe be willing to wait and see things might begin to change.

Idiotic behavior, protesting is fine, destroying property is inexcusable. Sometimes I wonder if they're protesting or they want an excuse to riot and cause problems for others.

I think in a larger sense this is a sad reflection of a huge central government with massive influence over way too many aspects of life, together with people raised on Statism who grant that government even MORE primacy and power in their minds. When government feels like everything, and tribalism (boosted greatly by the internet, smartphones, Facebook / Tumblr / Twitter / Reddit) and directed authoritarianism rules the day, it can feel like everything is lost.

There are Statists on the right and on the left and the Federal Government's coercive power (and expense) will undoubtedly grow by leaps and bounds over the next four years the same way it has over the past eight years (and the past eighty). And we'll continue to produce new voters who increasingly view everything through the collectivist lens, and the cycle will just feed upon itself. Technology and the surveillance state will advance, Regressive Left / SJW thought will prevail, AI will begin eliminating jobs by the millions, the attributes that separate us all socially and politically will become chasms, and we'll march inexorably toward a civil war that will tear the country to shreds.

Well, that's one scenario anyway.
