You know full well there aren't even close to the number of white supremacists that there are radical left and oh, they are also not out there rioting, looting and killing cops.

Democrats who do not damn what's going on but instead point their fingers at the other side are a large part of the problem. You fools have blood on your hands. As long as you're defending your party, you don't really care what happens to our cities or to people who have been beaten or killed.

That's where you're wrong:

It is his opponent who offers the promise of calm, sober and competent leadership. Put it this way: If you have to tweet “LAW & ORDER!,” you probably aren’t the law-and-order candidate.

To the extent that there is a law-and-order candidate at this point, it appears to be Biden.

"A majority of voters, 63 percent, say they would rather back a presidential candidate who focuses on the cause of protests, even when the protests go too far, while just 31 percent say they would prefer to support a candidate who says we need to be tough on demonstrations that go too far"

The laughable part of that survey is the assumption that Joe Biden, of all people, is focused on what is sparking the riots. Just because he’s not Trump and has that D after his name doesn’t mean he gives a rat’s behind about it. The man is a not-so-closeted racist.

Well, we may have to wait at least until the leftist news media in the USA stop referring to these riots in the context of being "mostly peaceful."

I don't see how the people in Portland can put up with the riots for two months straight. Is this how they want to live? Apparently.

Elect Democrats and these riots and CHAZ/CHOP zones by these fascistic leftist radicals will be the accepted norm. Awe hell, it already has been the norm accepted by Democrat mayors and governors.

The left are insane.

They preach equality and fairness, while taking your hard earned paycheck and giving it away to foreigners who violated our immigration laws.

They preach against racism, while claiming white people are inherently bad people.

They support and vote for candidates of the Democratic Party, while tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Frederick Douglas.

They sit on their high horse wearing halos on their heads, preaching anti-fascist memes, while using the the cancel culture to destroy the private and professional lives of anyone who dares to disagree with their political views.

How many white supremacist groups have had ANY real power or influence to do much of anything in the last 40-50 years?

I know you'd like there to be some equivalence there so you can dodge responsibility but there really is not.
It's ridiculous, isn't it?

The Left (Democrats, Media, etc) are fine with violence, destruction and people getting hurt and killed as long as it gets rid of Trump as that is who they are wrongly blaming for this mess.
