The fundamental issue here is that a pissed off Democrat will arrange a boycott or a sit in or a protest and a pissed off Republican will load a box truck full of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane and detonate it next to the Murrah building

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

And even if the Dems wanted to crack down on them, the police wouldn't enforce it sufficiently.
An entire generation of kids have been officially fucked over by the Dems and if we go into a deep recession or worse will have nothing to lose.
How about all the trained ex-military being unceremoniously dumped by Trump? What do you think they'll do?
All that last events prove is that they generally will not kill for status quo betrayals.
But this isn’t that. This is a Nazi coup and it’s collaborators revealing themselves on both sides.
That's the difference between the two parties. The only difference.
Democrats think wearing a costume and having a funny sign is a protest. Republicans threaten violence and now they have everything they've ever wanted.
Your brain worms look impressively ravenous.
There must be a shift in our sense of urgency. I just hope it happens before it’s too late…. That is, If it’s not already. 😢😤
It's almost like even then, cruelty is the only objective.
Also, way we teach MLK - - sole focus on just the peaceful protests and then his assassination - - seems to have given conservatives and liberals very different lessons as well.
the demands and wishes of the ploretarian that as been tricked & indoctrinated into the rightoid disease are ignored as much as those of any lefty
the thesis the the left is passive and the right is violent and thats why fascist get away with it is a mistaken reading, the right does more civil violence cause enforcers are on their side
the rightoid that snaps from time to time and does violence is for them the cost of doing businesses and has no effect in their goals one way or the other 🤷♂️
Outside the US and the rest of the Anglosphere, leftists are … more in line with leftist tradition, let’s say.
