The left has been rioting in our cities for months. Sure, there are crazies on the right, but how much destruction have they wreaked in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, etc., etc., etc.?
Because that’s just like shooting cops, looting and burning down businesses, right?But, but, what about a highway being shut down? Weak sauce whataboutism.
Wait. You mean the stuff that right extremists are on trial for?Oh.Also, no whataboutism here. Conservatives cried when people shut down highways in protest for equality in America. Now that they’re shutting down highways to suppress votes it’s all good, apparently.
“Not only did I not “cry“ about peaceful protests, I (and every Conservative I know) supported the protesters rights. When cops started getting attacked or shot, when businesses were burned and looted (and the “peaceful protesters” defended the destruction and looting as “reparations” that were justified) - and we heard crickets from folks like you and the “these are mostly peaceful protests, nothing to see here” media- you lost us.
And remember, only one presidential candidate told militant right-wing groups to stand by, and has touted the fact that there will be violence if they count all the votes and deprive him of his election.
Like the looting and destruction of the precinct in Minnesota, and many of the businesses, that were later proven to be caused by right-wing extremists trying to create violence and terror.
Right wing extremists are out there killing people - including cops - and Lenny is outraged because a Wendy's got torched and the Apple store got looted. Interesting priorities.
Left wing extremists:”what do we want? Dead cops! When do we want ‘em? Now!” Cops ambushed, cops shot in their squad cars, etc. - lots of “Missions accomplished!”
Thanks for putting my mind at ease Lenny.
You’re welcome.As you (and all other Scoopers) know, I am not in any way, shape or form a Trump supporter. But I am an avowed capitalist who leans right on most issues. As “non political” Scoop has become uber political and devolved into a mostly left wing echo chamber, those sort of ideas are decidedly unwelcome here. I’ll get out of the way (as many others have generally done) so that Scoop can get one step closer to becoming MSNBC North. Not quite the “Duke North” that you promised, but whatever.
Revoking birthright citizenship? Yes.Having Obergfell overturned (a promise made by Justice Stepford), invalidating gay marriages? YesContinuing to ignore COVID and implementing herd immunity? Yes (which affects those of us in Higher Ed).
