It may not be a majority of liberals behaving that way, but leftists are also the ones that defend the rioters and make excuses for their insanity. It's the Left that allows this sort of behavior then calls people racist or sexist if they criticize the people behaving like violent animals. The Left's approval of the actions of the rioters make them no different than the rioters themselves.
Can you cite these leftists who defend the rioters and make excuses for their insanity? Thanks!
OP, I appreciate your post, but realize that ^^this is the BS that I'm fighting against. I know there's liberals who aren't acting like that, and I've seen a few posts right here on City Data from liberals talking about how embarrassed they are of the people in their own party....and then some idiot comes along and tries to pull the racist card again, which makes it very difficult to be sympathetic toward any Dem.

The endorsements by the American Nazis and the Klan are real, not BS.
I see this is really getting under your skin. According to the last results I saw, Clinton got 60,839,922 votes (good 500K+ over Trump, not that it matters). The overwhelming majority of those Trump opponents were disappointed after the election and then went back to their daily jobs. And they don't condone violence. So 99.9999% of the people who voted against Trump are NOT out there on the streets. So why do they have some sort of an obligation to take responsibility for the 0.0001% who are?
Furthermore, if Trump wanted to run as an inclusive candidate who can credibly call for unity after the election, he could have not spent the whole season running the most divisive and disrespectful campaign in history, followed up by telling us all before the election that he thought the elections would be a fraud.
If it's not productive to call all supporters of Trump "racist," then it's not productive to call all opponents of Trump "domestic terrorists."
i agree with part of your post here, in that its only a few hillary supporters that are causing the problems.
i disagree though that trump ran a divisive campaign though. clinton on the other hand DID run a divisive campaign. clinton had no message other than trump is a jackass so vote for me. trump put forth a positive message of making american great again.
the problem though in this campaign is that so much hate was brought to the forefront from both sides, and now the healing needs to begin.
You get the downtrodden have nothings or the spoiled brats who want more and don't appreciate what they have and suddenly they get the idea in their heads that the other candidate was going to give them stuff and now the guy who won, won't. So they get mad and throw a tantrum. Toddlers do it, now adults do it. Same deal with the BLM crowd. Make noise, kick and scream and that's your justification.
Seriously, had Hillary won I would have taken down the American flags I keep up all year. Its been literally a burden keeping them up under Obama since I honestly felt like America was left to slip away and had been replaced by a doppleganger. It was more like a memorial and tribute to America that once was. Now I can at least wait and see and hope that MAYBE we've made a step in the right direction wand will continue that way. I know some truly nasty people are pissed that Trump won so that's a positive.
But I can't then say that these people have to accept Trump and like that he's POTUS. I never accepted Obama as a legitimate POTUS . IMO, he was never vetted and his college records being kept secret, not his birth certificate, left serious questions. Maybe it was just crappy grades, maybe he lied about his background to get admission. But it would have been enough to derail his primary chances. And the same people that got Obama elected also kept Hillary from getting elected. Twice.

The problem is the media using its magnifying glass to make the riots seem larger than they are. just as they did with the 1 percenters and the 99%.
blame the media as integral partners with the dems to wage a campaign of fear, hate and division. Media the guilty party.
You cons do know that the people protesting are like 0.00001% of the liberal / Democratic population, right?
Why is the DNC obligated to take responsibility for the riots? ...For starters, because they were caught paying people to foment violence at Trump and Bernie rallies.
