    I don't think it's your comments that offended me so much as your support of a madman who had every intent of burning this country down around him to further his own goals at the expense of us all. You're far from the only one and definitely not in the class of the worst. So there's that. Take care.

    I would have stepped between the elderly politician and this skinhead *******.

    I watch that video imagining what I would say to those people if I was in that Congressmen’s shoes, and I’ve got nothing. I respect his resolve to stand up for himself, but there’s nothing he could have said or done that would make any difference with them. It’s depressing.

    Very fine people on both sides.

    Seriously, nothing the left has done equates to storming the capitol and the violent rhetoric we've seen from the right to overthrow the election. Nothing compares. And that's the problem, folks like you are enabling this by drawing false equivalences.

    Nothing compares. In an alternate universe in which Trump won the 2020 election, I can imagine mass protests and violence. In a preelection poll, even a majority of Democrats were worried about this.

    But protesters wouldn’t have gotten close to breaking into the Capitol even if they wanted to (Antifa types very well might have tried). Trump would have had a militarized force at the ready to prevent it.

    So you're saying breaking windows at Starbucks and stealing coffee does not equate to storming and ransacking the capitol, murdering a cop in the process, to stop a peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next? Please explain. o_O

    What are antifa types - because so far Antifa makes its appearance at white nationalist rallies and yet now according to the right they are everywhere

    Remember 9/11 and when Muslims couldn't take responsibility for the idea that Muslims could cause such a tragic loss of life because it was against Islam? That's exactly what the right is when they blame Antifa.

    What percentage of GOP are
    QAnon 33%?
    White nationalists 10%?
    Evangelical 33%?

    There would be some cross over
    And what percentage of GOP is one or the other of these?

    Evangelicals aren't problematic.
    But I tend to feel a large percentage only seem to care about overturning Roe v Wade.

    Yes, in an alternate universe in which Trump won then America wouldn't see another day of democracy for decades.
    He would have time to inflitrate the military as all dictators do and instead of militia with ropes there would be armed tanks against anyone who wanted to stand up to him. Blood would flow on the streets. And when he died his children would inherit him.

    There is no way Trump supporters would believe the results of any deep dive into the election results. They would see the writing on the wall. And, then they would say...that can't be right...it's fabricated...you're lying. It's just like how Trump couldn't lose or it would be fraudulent.

    I thought I heard her say future?

    in any case. If extremists from both sides put the same energy and time into improving themselves and their own families. They wouldn't need to rely on a lottery outcome (not referring to elections here) that will never come from any politician.

    ...you know...

    ...except for the fact that this is a white congressman instead of a black schoolgirl...
    ...and that this happened at an airport instead of a school...
    ...and that this is the year 2021 and not 1955...

    ...I can't remember ever seeing anything like this happen before at all...;)
