If you don't have the signs you are not part of the club, and if you don't share their views there's not really any place for you at their gatherings because there is very little else they'll talk about for long. During the day they get together at local cafes and talk about progressive politics while sipping lattes. Politics really consumes their lives. Often even their jobs will involve progressive causes in some way.
Yes. That's what we all do. Geeeeez. My neighbor has the biggest Trump sign you could buy and he is my fav neighbor. I live in a progressive metro area and the Trumpistas and Bernie Bros and Hilary's all get along. We even "gasp" marry each other. Debating and discussing politics and social causes is not new. Life goes on. BLM is on the right side of history just as the freedom riders and black Panthers were.

And stop with the false narrative about us sipping lattes all day. We have jobs. Expensive coffee isn't free.. lol.

Oh yeaaaah, because politics is not consuming the lives of right-wingers here in CD-forum

Politics consumes the lives of many American's.

Most confederate monuments are not relics, they were put up as a push back to civil rights. Civil rights always make racists lose their ****.

I find it funny to watch all the heads exploding. GD it, those uppity negroes AGAIN?! LOL.

It's like they have never lived near or had friends of other ethnicities. How is that even possible in 2020?

When I moved to this southern city last year, I purposely chose a mixed neighborhood. One reason was because I would have less chance of having to deal with someone like your nazi neighbor.
Because you are thinking people's aversion to the Marxist underpinnings of BLM = not liking other races. I believe black lives matter. I believe in civil rights and I detest police brutality. But the organization BLM is marxist. They said so. They've also said they want to tear down systems. I'm not in favor of that.

I'm also not in favor of the fact that defunding police is now happening. It's the craziest slogan ever invented and now it is a thing. Money is being slashed from budgets, and in some cases police department are being dismantled. All because of BLM and their aggressive tactics---it was never put to a vote. They shouted the mayor of Minneapolis off the stage! Nice democracy there guys.
