Vote wisely.
That’s because people who work hard, persevere, and are motivated show that smart choices and admirable traits can indeed lead to success, and that’s a message the Dems don’t want known. They want failure blamed on society and racism.

They are cultiviating victimhood politics. It's a surefire way to keep people divided and for it to appear to the "victims" that the dem party is the only group that can save you from fill in the blank here.

It's actually quite cruel and I don't know why more people don't/can't/won't see this fact. I grew up in a time when people were inspired to be uplifted to succeed, to reach out and take the bull by the horns and good for it, that has been replaced with you can't succeed now because everything is against you mentality.

Again, cruel to the point of complete irresponsibility.

I am hearing local media replaying Blake’s mother calling for peace.

She probably thinks this mayhem is about her son.

It's time for death squads to track down these rioters involved, and put a bullet in them.

They are.

Unless local, we only hear about those that go sideways. If it bleeds, it leads.

Thus far there have been protests in Minneapolis, LA, NYC, Denver, Portland, San Diego and Des Moines.

There were thousands of Geo Floyd protests in every state in the US, big cities, suburbs and small towns. Super majority were peaceful.

More people don’t vote than who vote R or D. The 18-24 age cohort is the least likely to vote for anyone.

Who benefits from civil unrest?
Not sure why you quoted me, what you wrote has almost nothing to do with what I was talking about in my response to that other poster.

Didn't say a word about civil unrest.

I was talking about a shift in thinking coming from the political left and how it's being used to keep/stay in power.

Not only "not condemning" this behavior, they refuse to even acknowledge it. Truly in their own reality all the way around.

A political party has no police powers.

Jacob Blake’s parents are on local, national and cable news pleading for calm in Kenosha.

Likely they still have an illusion the events of the past two evenings have anything to do with their son.
