    Over the last 2 weeks we have had people flaunting the fact that they will not wear mask.

    Carrying guns to the capitol for the right to not wear mask and congregate and get there hair and nails done.

    People going out of there way to excuse the brandishing of weapons and the eventual killing of an unarmed human being because he might have stolen something weeks earlier.

    And this is not just on this board by the trollers people are commenting on this all over the web.

    I think people realize there days of owning the Libs are over and there great leader is melting down daily in public that line about testing on friday is the latest example.

    I think people are acting out because of the frustrations of seeing everything about MAGA come crashing down and in 20/20 democrats can control all 3 houses.

    When Biden gets elected I expect there to be rallies like the women's march except with guns, and militias will start forming in mass.

    All because they can no longer own the libs.

    This pushback over the Avery shooting is very alarming.

    Don't know about that. I don't think MAGA folks can tell the future any better than I can, and I don't know whether the days of owning Libs are over or not. Might just be more crazy stuff like the crazy stuff we've seen for the last 3 years.

    People in general will do what they are allowed to do...

    Right now there is no push back or consequences with a certain group of individuals of what they do...

    I hope not. Societal tensions and civil discourse between the two sides are scary though.

    I think they know between the corona virus and the press briefings and the fact that he was elected by the thinnest of margins its over.

    This crazy stuff was not happening over the last 3 years Maga folks were just pretty smug but now they are acting out to anything that can be construed as us vs them.

    I am all for being cautious about calling the election but the metrics keep getting worse and the fact that will always remain is that Trump being elected was a fluke and he has not gained any supporters since then, he keeps losing them.

    This stuff being posted about Avery is just wacko.

    There is pushback and what scares me is when the pushback escalates like if Trump loses that will spark something worse.

    Trumpeteer checking in. I completely disavow the killing. That former law enforcement officer shouldve known better to approach like that. Both suspects deserve lenghty sentences.

    What is happening is that the social fiber of our society is stretching and ripping.

    Life is very different than it was 3 months ago for a majority of Americans and people are beginning to lash out.

    Some people, when they do not like something or cannot accept reality, find a scape goat.

    Some of the tearing and pulling would happen regardless of who was in charge.

    However, the process is accelerated because of the person in the Oval Office.

    The President has pushed for confusion and chaos and created scape goats other than himself.

    It is transparent, he has said one thing in the morning and then tweeted the opposite in the afternoon.

    It is terrible for the country, but Trump is used to chaos and excels in it personally and politically.

    I am just waiting for someone to shoot up a WalMart or attempt to assassinate prominent scientists or ER doctors.

    I would just say all primates become more tribal and less logical under duress.

    Anyone who has any mediation and de-escalation skills would be advised to keep those at ready.

    So all primates are thought to think logically?

    How does that work?

    Interesting topic for another thread.

    So I should put you on ignore?

    Because your escalation on these topics is a prime example.

    Your rhetoric in the Avery thread is scary and shameful.

    I went for takeout just now and wore my mask as courtesy asks.

    Its funny all the rednecks in their camo gear eating at the restaurant none with masks on..

    Its a really funny weird place we ve gotten to. I hope the violence part as op suggests wont happen but it really will be just them out and about without masks all pining for the fjords.

    Rest of us with half a brain will either be essential ppe to the 9s or stay at home on lockdown watching them flame on tv like the clown show they are..
    all in darwins waiting room scratching to get in.

    You moral busy body. Get a life. Get your fake fear out of here. If you are finding things like differing opinions scary, I suggest you get some professional help.

    Yeah. Life is much easier when you drift through it as dumb as a fence post. So, listen to Limbaugh. Watch Hannity, Carlson. Ingraham. Feeeeel your IQ plummet. Good. Gooooooooood. I can feel the hate FLOWING through you.
