    You are wrong there. Multiple democratic nations have fallen. No, no country is in the position that America is right now at this very moment because of many variables, but to sit there and pretend America is invulnerable is just silly.

    Oh I was just quoting you. I agree the statement is wrong. I thought you said that.

    Look, I'm not going to play these gymnastics with you as I know you tend to do and.

    My position on this is clear since you seem to just quote parts of my post and only respond to that part. Maybe read the rest and you'll see what i've said is pretty clear. America, just like every country/nation/empire is unique and holds a unique place throughout history. In this way you can't say this situation is exactly like Germany or whatever. AT THE SAME TIME, you can't say it is invincible. Some special country that exists outside the idea that all good things must come an end. American, invulnerable throughout time...History laughs at that notion. I'm sorry that I don't think that throughout history America is the greatest country to exist...but it would be an interesting case to make if you want to make it.

    No, it's never one person is it? But one person can have a large negative or positive impact on a nation. Do you agree or disagree with that?

    NM, let's just base our thoughts on one tweeted photo. I'm good with that.
    Sure there's no more info we need.

    It would be fair if you quoted the rest of the post?

    At least the rest of the sentence, your quote cuts off the middle of my sentence to make it seem like I said "America is a scrub country!" when what I said that there have been greater empires that have fallen before.

    Well, here, does this help? If one of the anti-Trump protestors threw something or swung something that hit the police officer and injured his head -- I totally condemn that.

    In fact, I only can really support non-violent protests. Whatever asshats got violent, on either side, get condemned by me, here on the internet. Not very meaningful, but I'm honoring your crucial request there.

    Do I get to ask you to condemn something now? Is that how it works, LOL.

    Don't even bother defending this. I abhor everything that Trump stands for and I blame him for his incitement that has contributed to this.

    But I also wholeheartedly condemn groups of people getting together to go cause trouble and disrupt his rallies. He may be saying horrible things, but he has a right to do so and his supporters have a right to peaceful assembly.

    I just saw a group of protesters stomping on an American flag. This is out of control.

    Dude, sitting in front of a computer screens and calling others names is the opposite of bravery or patriotism or really much of anything worth while. Cheers.

    Those are the same people that make excuses as to why they aren't successful.

    I'm almost positive they like Bernie as well.
