Surely, this should be easy enough to provide links.

That's what I'm thinking too.

These right wing thugs aren't going to Portland to sip coffee at the bookstore. Just another example of how Trumpism is dividing America and inspiring violence.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/proud-...antifa-country

All the violence and hate is coming from the left-wing thugs like Maxine Waters occupy wall street etc., and the fake news outlets.


When he right wingers march in Portland, the only violence will come from the left hate Trumpers.


You don't see right wingers confronting public Trump officials in restraunts. That type of conduct show be denounced by everyone, bur good ole Maxine encourages it. They should be ashamed of themselves. That is not an America I want .



You on the left are like granny Clampet. Jed said then only thing she ever wanted was her own way. And when you don' get it, you act like a spoiled child having a temper tantrum,

That's what they did in Charlottesville and an innocent girl lost her life. Those mayors need to be prosecuted by the federal government for something. To me, those actions are criminal.
Absolutely! It’s the mayors and local police who allow these things to get out of hand. The guy saying those people wouldn’t bother going to other cities probably doesn’t realize people like that have always gone to other cities, but the police never let it get out of control. All my life the idiot KKK people have had annual parades all over the country, and the ACLU has always defended their right to do so. Normally what would happen is the meager amount of KKK people would have their march while counter-protestors would stand along the sides and jeer at them. It never got beyond words, and everyone dispersed leaving the KKK looking like fools. The police did their jobs to make sure there was no violence.

Now they let the counter-protestors attack them and turn the idiots into sympathetic characters. And it’s all because the police don’t do their jobs, or aren’t allowed to do their jobs.

By idiots, I’m referring to KKK and other white supremacist groups, not these Proud Boys necessarily because I don’t know anything about them.

As Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore said, "Let them LOOT, it's only property".

Why would someone who opposes fascists wear a mask?
Your question reveals the ironic truth of the situation. Those who you call "fascists" aren't the fascists. The fascists are those who are planning on doing illegal things to suppress freedom of assembly and free speech. To attempt to do so and get away with it requires a mask.

That's a good point. The left has left no stone unturned in the dark recesses of their imagination when it comes to inventing new accusations/lies against Trump. In the past, this has worked for them really well. Look at Bush for instance: he just stood there while they lied about him and kicked him in the balls. Trump fights back against the lies. He's like a mirror--an eye for an eye kind of guy. That REALLY infuriates the left. It's like someone kicking a hornets nest. Because, they can dish it out, but are absolutely incapable of taking it.

The most amusing aspect is that they really don't know what to do about it. Every time they come out with a new morsel of nonsense, it goes absolutely nowhere and/or backfires. If nothing else, this has been the most entertaining two years of my life, politically speaking. And it's a twofer... we also get our country back.

Although I was of the opinion that it couldn't have gotten much worse than it was in the previous eight years (although I'm sure Hitlery could have taken us closer to hell), I went into the "Trump Era" pretty skeptical. But not so much at this point. If things keep improving as they are and we keep defeating tyranny and mandated collectivism, I'm good with it.

What's interesting is that I don't see them cracking any skulls, smashing any windows, setting any fires, blocking any freeways in the picture. So tell, me, which laws are they breaking? Sure, they are stupid and espouse a philosophy with a pretty horrible history. But stupid is not illegal. Philosophy is not illegal.

On the other hand, your boys have caused a whole lot of trouble over the past few years. Way more than these jerks in this video have. They say things you don't like--again, that is not illegal. On the other hand, your bangers beat people, smash windows, burn cars, intimidate people, block freeways, disallow others to express their opinions, and generally act like a bunch of ghetto trash/thugs. So, from an outside perspective which group is worthy of more respect, or maybe a better question, since neither are worthy of respect, would be: which of the two groups of low-lifes is worth less disrespect?
