    While you’re right it started years ago, it wasn’t far right wing groups who “started it”. Rose City Antifa started it by hijacking a peaceful support rally in Portland. Obviously people are competitive and if you are having a peaceful rally, and some clowns show up in all black with goggles on and helmets trying to start ****, people respond. It doesn’t matter what you believe or what political views you have. It’s human nature.

    Get your facts straight.

    Lie. Just stop. Patriot's Prayer, Proud Boys, and the American Guard are not from Portland. Antifa has been to hate rallies all over the US to confront white supremacists. Who do you think was in Charlottesville to protect that city from white supremacists? The "United the Right" rally, ha.

    LOL. Lie! Just stop. The Antifa clashes with law enforcement started the whole thing. Supporters went to Portland to rally in peace. Again. Get your facts straight.

    The same supporters that showed up in Chalottesville to unite the right in peace? Please.

    Up until the Floyd protests, Antifa clashes with Nazis and then law enforcement shows up. Right wing hate groups aren't peaceful and neither is showing up to a rally with firearms. By your logic, it's not the invasion that starts the war it's the defense of the invasion. Typically nonsensical. Further by your logic, these groups are acting in a vigilante capacity which certainly we've repeatedly seen law enforcement encourage these groups and militias to do their jobs for them.

    We all know it was Charlottesville that lit this fuse and we also know it was Trump that actively fanned the flames. He wants these battles in the streets of our country.

    Lol.. sheesh you clearly lack any information or knowledge. Or better yet, you’re likely an Antifa supporter or racist. Some of y’all are so damn ignorant to reality it’s sickening. Are you even American?

    I guess you don't do dates because right wing hate rallies in Portland started way before 2019. Keep trying and lying Trumpanzee or we'll just go with fascist I guess, seems that's who you've lined up with. So American, that fascism, or not.

    Here's one for you. Check the dates bro. You're welcome to educate your ignorance.

    This far-right group is trying to drag leftists into an unwinnable PR war

    It's frightening how many far right people there seemingly are now. Lot's of otherwise normal people have been driven insane by social media, fox news etc. Like literally off the deep end, head first with their red maga hat on.

    There is no saving us.

    Let's hope the MAGA thugs get what's coming to them: arrested and thrown in jail.

    Our country is totally fractured and, with our weak leadership in Washington, you can expect Portland type riots and looting in other places!

    Ideally the provocateurs on the left and right are arrested, tried, and, if guilty, receive fair punishments.

    Imagine how different this year would play out if laws were equally applied to everyone regardless of their race, status, or level of income.

    Lol whatever makes you sleep better at night. Here is one from 2017..

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...d-disrupting-peaceful-rallies/?outputType=amp

    Is your argument going to be based off of google news searches? You’re dumb as a rock to not realize this has been going on well before Trump was in office. More so, it’s concerning people with your mindset can’t even discuss the real situation at hand. Keep pushing your agenda though. Better yet, answer my question so I know whether or not laugh at you or respond in the future.

    You can't possibly deny this country has gotten so much worse with Trump leading the charge for his "Patriots" while condemning innocent protesters, calling everyone looters and Antifa, and ignoring the deaths of innocent people of color, while condemning people in a biased and political sided way. Meanwhile, he screams to open schools, play football, and ignores the thousands dying of Covid every week.

    Unfortunately the same can be said for the far left too with CNN. A large problem with our society is primarily media driven. I blame the internet. People don’t think for themselves anymore. Their opinions are formed by others and the likes of Reddit, etc. it’s quite sad actually.

    I have no idea how your post has anything to do with this thread, but quite frankly, Joe Biden or (insert any name you want here) wouldn’t have done any better of a job with the Covid situation. Our country wasn’t prepared for that and that starts with multiple terms in office by both democrats and republicans. Let’s stay on topic in this thread please.

    It's actually simple. You just listen to the words from Trump's mouth. Lies, lies, lies, lies, denial, denial, pat himself on the back, utter self congratulations on his failures, stir up hate, repeat.

    the more Trump talks, the less confusion there is about his culpability.
