Holy Cow, how could anyone compare the Tea party with rioting left wingers? How many riots have you seen started or finished by Tea Partyers? I am a Republican which is no secret but am not a member or lover of the Tea Party. Still I am objective and know rioting is one thing none of them would ever be part of.

If she is honest and takes our constitution for what it is meant to be, she will be fair.
I hope you're right. I just want whoever is on the SCOTUS to be fair and not rule according to their own personal biases.

Nobody is going to riot over the SC pick. OP is trying to illicit a reaction in an attempt to get them riled up. This thread is treading close to trolling.

Yes, apparently it's acceptable to post speculation about potential violence, as long as it's the right claiming the left is going to be violent. Many threads with the same baseless claims.

Countless posts accusing those of the left of being hysterical, lunatics, turning to violence, ...

But it is not the left marching through Portland and Charlottesville, assaulting random citizens.

It's not the left at rallies acting like total lunatics.

It's not the left repeatedly posting on this forum about the latest nutball conspiracy theories flogged by Trump, Fox, and Breitbart.

They seem to be overplaying that card.

Buncha' pants on fire, sky is falling chicken littles in here, lol. ~400 million people, there will always be violence, on both sides, plenty enough to pick out to support whatever view you wanna push, especially when you lean hard into your own confirmation biases. But, for every example on one side or the other there is an equal and opposite example. If you think you can prove anything with cherry picked anecdotal examples of violence from any side, you are probably pretty stupid in general (sorry to be the bearer of bad news). Trying to make a point with made up fictional violence you say might happen in the future is even dumber.

You might redirect that note to the politicians who support antifa and BLM. they obviously see merit in killing their fellow man to forward a political agenda. Also the media that supports the left's hate and fear mongering campaign.


Stories abound of people wearing red hats supporting trump are attacked.


Trump cites all the hate groups at charlotte and all the liberals hear is trump supports Nazis. The death at that rally was the result of opposing hate filled groups. Who caused the death was happenstance. Trump was right to call out all hate groups involved. Liberals used that tragedy to forward a political agenda.


Also to the Hillary campaign effort to hire thugs to stir violence at trump rallies leading up to the 2016 election.


Talk to Maxine as well.


Lest we forget the appearance of Obama at an event hosted by Hoffa jr who said of political opponents, "Take out those sobs" . Obama then stood up and smiled. If ever there was a dog whistle to incite violence that was it , unless you consider Ferguson and Baltimore, etc. lies embraced as truth by democrat legislators and the racist black congressional caucus members.
