your problem is that you havent yet hit that point where you get fed up and start properly educating yourself and seeing through the lies, and half truths being spewed by the far left. you still buy into the "peaceful protesters" meme put out by the left wing media, an you still listen to all the hate speech spewed by the same media.


as more and more people actually start to educate themselves and really see what is going on, they do tend to become more conservative, moving away from the far left.



here is hoping that the people continue to educate themselves, and really open up their eyes to what is really going on, and finally reject the far left radicals creating all the anarchy.

The hard truth is that the left has replaced the religious right as the thought police of the country, and it's going to turn a lot of people off.
I believe the far right faction, white supremacist is much smaller than people seem to think or at least lefties think.

What peril ? Are the left going to start physically attacking those that have different opinions ?

Just what is this peril I should be watching out for ?

A rather large majority of the protests were peaceful, a rather larege majority of Americans condemn rioting and looting. You can be against both violence and Trump, they aren’t exclusive. He did a poor job of diffusing a bad situation worse.

She still won’t call herself a conservative as she is pro choice (her words), but the transformation has been astonishing.
How will she vote? In the end how people actually vote is what matters. And if they vote is another consideration.

A non vote for a Democrat is still beneficial to him. However I still think Biden wins fairly easily. My son was a right wing nut and now can't stand Trump specifically.

This right here. Best post this month. Most can agree some of the stuff Trump says is awful, but that does not make the left innocent.

It does for many. Moderates don’t agree with these idiot politicians holding their forces back during all this violence. It definitely isn’t driving votes away from Trump.

And all these attacks on everything white isn’t securing white votes for Biden.
