In your opinion, why are these protests called for?

They aren't speaking up because, even though they are upset with what they are seeing, deep down inside, they truly believe it's President Trump / Republican's fault.

I have friends who are hard-core demolibs and they absolutely hate to read about what's going on across the country in regards to defunding law enforcement, the riots, looting, CHOP/CHAZ, etc. etc. But at the end of the day, they still default to all this chaos being President Trump's / Republican's fault. And then they do absolutely nothing to stop the chaos. Because they follow and whole heartedly believe what top demolib leadership rhetoric tells them to believe and how to think.

Hmm, nothing.

Maybe they aren't as "decent" as you think.

The time is fast approaching when they will have to fish or cut bait.

And maybe that time is here, now.
Let me define "decent".. the regular people just trying to raise a family, work at a job, do everything that you and me do, they are just the average joe. who happen to remain Democrat. I know some of them. I tried to talk sense into them and they still believed they had to keep on with the tradition of voting Dem.


also you know depending on which news you watch, you will get a different version of Trump. My ex-boss whom i adore, we talk on the phone sometimes, and he had a different version of Trump based on what i hear him repeating and i know it comes from the lame stream media.


My daughter is also listening to the lies of the lamestream news and she is somewhere in the middle. i tried to speak reasonably with her too, but she is sorta in the middle, thanks to the news she watches. i hear her repeating some of the common themes of the lamestream media.


That's where a lot of them get a different impression of Trump than Trump voters. Fox News lets on the Dems at times so we get to see how they think.


I cant talk to my cousin about Trump or politics because she is totally brainwashed with the lies about Trump thanks to the lamestream media. She repeated some b.s. that the Dems created and spewed, which were proven to be wrong. But my cousin still believes it is true. this happens a lot, again, thanks to the Fox News who lets on Dems at times, i recognize how they think.

????????????

Liberal lunacy. Of course, there are no "white supremacist" riots in the US, except in the minds of libs.

I love how libs keep bringing up this imaginary threat that seems to occupy a good deal of their time and thoughts.

Meanwhile, real left wing mobs burn down cities and riot. Liberals, of course, simply ignore this fact, as they cannot accept the reality that they are on the side of evil and anarchy. It is a bitter pill to swallow when one realizes that they are "the bad guy" in this tale.

Liberalism= Fascism

What does "being called for" mean?

I swear half of these little morons don't even know what it is they're protesting against.

Exactly. That was real cute, wasn't it? After her house was descended upon, all of a sudden we need law and order.

It really doesn't matter what the reason for the "protest" is for anyway. They could be protesting for world peace but once the first brick is thrown and the first fire is set, it becomes an unlawful riot and it should be put down with whatever force is needed.

These are the same people calling for defunding the police while they have taxpayer paid for personal security.
