People on either wing/extreme get a lot of attention, and they are equally wrong.
I am against the wall, but also against totally opening the border.

You are just as bad as the people you are criticizing. There is room for most Americans in the 80% middle, and we can all get along.
I agree with this - the middle is much larger than either of the extremes, but above all we all need to do a better job of working to get along.

I do not know if that is how it would work, but I do know I would love to be tested because about 6 people I worked with closely every day, about two months ago, were deathly sick and took off work for a week or more. This was before the Corona virus was on the radar, and they were just told they had type A or B virus and were all given a Z pack and sent home. Now I wonder what they really did have...….could it have been this virus ?

Here we are, America, the greatest nation on the planet, and we can not tool up to test our people ? Ridiculous !!
Repped...I agree wholeheartedly.

Your TDS is showing by saying over 60 million Americas have no brain activity.
Why did they need guns to protest? Because they are a bunch of ignorant, unintelligent rubes. You might not like that, but there is absolutely no other reason for the guns but to showcase their ignorance in thinking their guns will somehow fix the situation at hand. Seems pretty stupid to me. Tell me another reason for them to be brandishing weapons, if you are able.

It's called the right to self defense. Earlier you you making a big deal about a group YOU said was against the "LBGT" rights. Yet here you are, having a problem when straight white men, exercising their rights.
So much so, that you make up deceitful statements about their intent in order to cast them in a bad light. Despicable and hypocritical.

How about reminding the government that this land's first government was overthrown in an armed revolution? Good enough for you?

So they are threatening an armed revolution if the country doesn't open up fast enough to suit them? Who the hell are they to make that decision for millions of Americans who don't want to die?

What are the odds that some of the same people screaming that their 'civil liberties' and 'rights' are being violated by our 'tyrannical' government in issuing stay at home and wear mask orders, are the same people that would be cheering if our government ordered that every Muslim American and American of Middle Eastern background were to be detained and processed for months in the wake of a mass terrorist attack on U.S. soil?
