There were some bad actors in the protests back in June 2020, but that is not the whole group.  Unfortunately, the entire GOP is basically beholden to Trump.  See what the Texas GOP did this weekend.  

Supporting the GOP is anti-American.

Why is it so hard to accept that the riots in June 2020 were violent & destructive?

[Fudge Nuggets 19,222]

No one says they weren't.  We are saying they are nowhere close to being on par with an attempt to overthrow democracy and you are full of fucking shit claiming that's an establishment you frequent(ed).

No one says that they weren't. But it has been conflated to be the purpose of BLM (which is only to ask for a change to how police and other government systems handle race relations) rather than a subset of bad actors with their own agenda to destroy things. Additionally, a decent percentage of those rightfully prosecuted were those who were not part of the protests and there to make the movement look bad. 

In contrast, the Jan. 6 insurrection was designed and implemented to stop a transition of power, against the will of the people (you know, our votes) thus stopping our democracy from existing after a couple hundred years. 

Like comparing apples and hippopotamus.

1) I never compared the June 2020 riots to Jan 6th coup. I said both sides have radical factions that are the absolute worst representations of this country. If you’re unable to admit that then you’re part of the problem.

You ignorantly stated radicals threw a brick threw a window. It’s ignorant because you either have reading comprehension issues and thought Biff said radical democrats don’t exist or you are ignorant in believing that is comparable to overthrowing the government

Yes, you absolutely did make that implicit comparison above. I’m having a hard time believing you don’t realize that, but I’m not sure if this is a troll job or a clumsy backpedal.

And so you know what you be a snowflake about, I’m not criticizing you for being conservative. I’m criticizing you for either being illiterate or a bad faith troll, depending on how much of your own words you actually believe.

The GQP is a full-on violent fascist party.  Imagine if a foreign muslim made an ad saying all that shit about Americans.  We'd have already bombed whatever country that person lived in.  The GQP is at war with the United States, and if you think they'll stop before they kill a shitload of people, you aren't paying attention.

[MC Fresh Breath 4,074]

Texas full on GQP ahead.  The secession stuff imo is just sensationalist (how many electoral college votes would the R's lose w/o Texas?).  

But there's some other 'fun':

Quote

Texas Republicans also approved a resolution declaring that President Joe Biden was "not legitimately elected," signaling the continued support for former President Donald Trump's baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

 

Quote

The Texas GOP's new party platform also called for full repeal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Holy fuck.

But wait, there's more:

Quote

Other planks also indicated a further shift to the right for the party, giving prominence to culture issues. The platform describes homosexuality as "an abnormal lifestyle choice," and also declares that the party opposes "all efforts to validate transgender identity."

 

and of course, the abortion stuff.

Negged for distortion.

Of course any riot is violent and destructive. BLM can point to multiple, huge demonstrations that were peaceful. In many cases, BLM provided masks, water, and insisted on non-violence. The police they faced were not so civilized. The long record of Black peaceful demonstration (amazing in view of their history in this country) is too often downplayed by racist dickheads wanting to characterize any racial movement by the incidents of disorder and violence.

It's pretty clearly part of the long-standing desire to believe anyone not a sweet, righteous white person is more animal than human. That desire justified slavery and has since then justified not raising Black people to equal status in the opinions of all.

Now I read the despicable actions and ideas of the Texas GOP and see these degenerates want to eliminate tolerance wherever possible. Gonna be a bad decade for the queens and the coons and the reds and the jews.

Roger Waters is a prophet.

First off, that's a lie.  Second, what makes you think the subset of protesters in response to the George Floyd murder who engaged in property damage identify or align with the Democratic Party or the left?  Have they run for office and been overwhelmingly supported by Democratic voters?  Have they been given spots on prime time left-leaning media programs and had their actions be supported by the hosts of the show?  Are they being paid to go to left wing political conferences?  Has the Democratic party whole heartedly rejected any notion of accountability for their actions?

Yeah, it’s false equivalency. They weren’t ordered to protest weeks advance or to assault a federal building in order to put a stop to official business. No Democratic politician directed or supported them at all. They weren’t all waving “Hillary” flags or anything.

I mean, sure, the Republicans are the party for racists and bigots so I can see how they might assume that anyone protesting the killing of unarmed black people by the police might tend to vote Democratic if they have any political proclivities at all. But BLM is just a movement for racial justice. Just because racist Republicans don’t understand them and are frightened by them it doesn’t make them inherently part of the Democratic Party. It’s likely that many of the opportunists looting a Target store were apolitical. It’s fallacious to assume they have any political affiliation at all.

Agreed. When it becomes the official official platform, as voted on by its members, it goes from fringe lunatics to mainstream GOP. This is what the official Texas GOP wants to advance as its agenda. If it wasn't, they would have found enough resistance to not advance it.

The RINOs he's talking about are as illusory as the ebil libs they've been decrying for decades as enemies of the US. They rode that to dominating the Senate and builiding a constituency of borderline sociopaths with poor reasoning skills.

Now, the goal is party purity. As a good GOP, you must continue to declare enthusiastic approval for whatever ze pahty sets forth, or you may be suspected yourself. They're addressing the hard core who have shown they'll never take off their jerseys. Now whip them into line for tyranny to save the republic. Only straight (or profoundly closeted) white people need apply. Only straight white men get the gold cards, as usual.

We will switch to fascism. We will continue to call ourselves the envy of the world. We will continue to claim we are a democracy. We'll be getting high on our own supply.

Another advantage the fascists have is that they've been in a war frenzy for a long time. The pro-republic faction, including me, has not even considered that we might be shooting fellow citizens to save the republic. It's still a crazy thought to me. But not to them.
