I can't see you but I'm fairly sure you do exist, just like ANTIFA !!!

Putting in power the communist left democrats won't get you any of what you want !!!

Vacuous rant above.

These hive minded Marxists ALWAYS discount, or completely ignore HUMANITY.

We're all NOT the same. Some achieve, some DON'T EVEN TRY.

You cannot have equal results for ALL, unless the result is misery for all.

Grow up, losers!

The thing is, people can't expect to be *******s and not get called on it. Act like an ass protesting or beating a demonstrator, get in peoples faces over Covid 19 rules pro or con, be a racist or be a racist anti racist fascist, whatever. We're seeing society collapse because nobody knows how to interact civilly with each other any more.
Who is sitting back laughing at all of us? The Elite 1% of 1%. They had billions shifted to their pet foundations and causes and ran up even more massive debts that the country now has to pay THEM, all with money they printed out of thin air.
You can be suckered into thinking your life is crap because somebody different than you has it out for you. Its always easy to blame somebody else. But guess what, the elite 1% of 1% do have it out for the rest of us and we're all in their cross hairs.
And you'll still be the easiest to get stomped on when you help bring about a police state you think will help make your lives better.

That "vacuous rant" is taken from what is considered one of the great speeches in American History.

Whether it's political, social, or demographic change. Fighting any type of change is futile. Now, one could have a point that excesses can have consequences. But folk cannot resist "excesses" with totally keeping things as they are.

Fellow American citizens are not the enemy, solely because they have different views.
There's nothing wrong with wanting accountability from the people who are sworn to lead and protect us.
There's nothing wrong with advocating new directions.

If people are taking to the streets, that means there is a breakdown in trust in leadership. Folk can talk about the "excesses," but there's nothing wrong with peacefully wanting change, when folk can no longer trust their leaders.

From reading the posts on this forum, I strongly believe that folk don't even want peaceful action. They just want things to stay as they are. Either that, or folk want "quiet change." I've learned, that change, especially in America, has never been quiet. Folk who say "just shut up and go to vote." Well, I've learned that contrary to public opinion, the ballot box is far from quiet! Those who have, and those who still are, suppressing the ballot, already know that fact!

In sum, as the great American musician Sam Cooke once said......A change gonna come!



Weren't all you people supposed to have "changed" your address to Canada by now?

"Fellow American citizens"...… are the enemy when they riot, loot, set fires, and destroy buildings. You want to protest peacefully, fine. When you cross over to illegal behavior, you lose me and you lose more than half of the country.

Read this link, and inform yourself. We DO have domestic enemies.

They just want to tear down the Trump crime family. And reinstate their own brand of criminals. That's what this is about and there is nothing new under the sun about it. If there's gonna be a breakup of your country, for them it is a small price to pay. Your lives and livelihoods do not matter to them. They never have. Trump doesnt give a f. Neither do republican and democratic elite, and neither do billionaires. Actually, any of these groups are working and will work and have actively worked against your interests whenever it benefited them.

That circus in Seattle WA everybody is laughing about - cause, yes, it has elements that are hysterically funny, so I understand the sentiment - it is going to stop being funny, just give it time. And space, because this **** is about to get bigger. Not necessarily right there, but who cares. You really think it is going to end up with a group of soy neckbeards and aspiring rappers who can't organize a closet, let alone revolution and can't run a lemonade stand, let alone an autonomous zone. Give them some time. Some people we all know are already giving them some money.

LOL. There won't be no change. It's all lip service because it's an election year. As soon as the election is done, everything will go back to normal for the next 2 to 4 years.

This 100%

They're domestic terrorists as far as I'm concerned and should be treated as such.
