Right, the left gathers and you need reconstruction and an army of trash trucks.

The right gathers and they pick up trash leaving a place BETTER than they found it, not BROKEN.

Both extremes believe in complete insane ideas and alternative facts - also known as conspiracy theories.

In the US the right has never pulled the crap we are witnessing from the left. The sad thing is that reasonable liberals refuse to speak out about it. There probably aren't any left.

First elaborate the crap that it's being pulled out from the left, please.

Approving a record low of cabinet nominees, burning Berkeley and NYC, calling their opponents white supremacists with no evidence, etc etc etc.

I was talking about insane ideas in my initial argument. Burning of Berkeley was down by he fringes elements of the left movement.

Accusing opponents as white supremacist is just as baseless as acusing Obama of being a secret Muslim and born in Kenya. Or believing in FEMA concentrations camps, the "Bowling Green Massacre" etc, etc.

Protesting him won't change people's minds.



That's his thing, It always has been.
He's a sales man who thrives in controversy and outrage.
He'll make a killing right now in this climate.

I blame the idea that there is such a thing as "hate speech" that anyone can seriously say isn't covered by free speech. First, it's very definition is fluid and seems to range from calling for someone's death (which Milo doesn't even come close to doing) to hurting someone's feelings. Second, if we aren't protecting opposing words under free speech what the hell ARE we protecting?

But the right never wrecks, destroys, tears down or burns down property in support of their ideas, nor to get THEIR way.

Only immature kids throw tantrums.

Oh yes, that's actually what they are.
