    Educating you on the breakdown of different political movements into their respective smaller parts is a waste of my time and yours because you have convinced yourself that the entire Democratic Party is an anarchistic mob.

    I guess I'm not seeing a conflict with our opinions then.

    As a Conservative, these recent events warm my heart. This is the final throes of a defeated political party that has less power than at any time since 1920. They are going the way of the Whigs, and I am watching with popcorn and soda.

    When Democrats stop defending free speech, that is your "jumped the shark" indication.

    ya, that's what I was saying...

    Lets assume I'm a moderate democrat, voted for Clinton, felt good about my choice, lost the election... bummer, oh well life goes on. (I assume there are about 20-30 million people that feel like this, my mother included)

    A few weeks or months later i'm in my car enjoying some NPR, driving to the city for a big sales call, very important meeting. I even leave 10 minutes early just so I won't be late. Hit the city and WTF? A bunch of never trumpers in masks are blocking traffic and won't let me go through, I can't turn around, can't go forward and i'm sitting there for 20-30 minutes getting more and more pissed off and I get to the sales call late, lose out on the deal, there goes my bonus for the month, i'm pretty pissed off.

    Can you guess which side just lost my support?

    added bonus scenario... same story but after sitting there 5 minutes a bunch of guys break through the line, push the azzhats out of the way and flag me through and tell me to have a nice day, i'm 5 minutes early to the sales call and close the deal. Boom, big bonus in April, hot dammm !!!

    Can you guess which side just got my support?

    true, but unfortunately, and realistically, it would be best if the nutjobs woke up and said "wow, this is crazy, maybe I should be re-evaluating my life"

    oh well, one can dream....

    That doesn't change what they are. We're better served by letting them fly their freak flag.

    More painful in the short term for sure, but therapeutic in the end.

    It's kind of like scrubbing the gravel out of your skin when you wreck your bike.

    I doubt that they care much about popular support, They seem to be attempting to incite violence and political instability. Their efforts have been rather clumsy and ineffective so far. But they have certainly destroyed the credibility and legitimacy of the UC Berkeley administrators and the police and government of Berkeley.

    And the Washington Post said that if the election were held now, Trump would not only still win, but he would also win the popular vote.

    The "party" didn't "invade Iraq." It was the United States of America, by popular vote and vote of the United States Congress.
    Don't you know anything? Stop being so utterly dishonest.

    What can be gained from this? I guess my issue is that I just can't see an end game that makes sense.

    You're using logic. To understand you have to rely purely on emotion.

    So its nothing more than hate? Just for the sake of hating?

    Even if I put on my crazy glasses the only thing I can assume is that if other people are as miserable as they are then for some reason they will feel more normal?

    I dunno, it's over my head.

    That is because many Hillary voters have been deported.

    Ding ding ding! Look at the people who make up antifa. They are basically deeply unhappy people just looking to lash out at a society that doesn't want to have anything to do with their ideas.

    Now that illegal immigration has been reduced that makes sense.

    I hate to break it to both of you but Antifa is not associated with the Democratic Party no matter how badly you want them to be.

    They are professional agitators. They want **** to throw down. They are anarchists and chaos is their main tool.

    And even if not, no one outside CA gives ONE FUK what CA thinks. The sad part is, it's a big state. Millions there voted for Trump, and hate the Beast with a passion. It's a divided state, but the left-turds and illegals are in control unfortunately. I've never been a fan of taking in refugees into our country, but sane people from CA should be allowed to immigrate to other states.

    yeah,.. because everybody knows in the states that the Antifa is the driving force behind the Democrats.
    Obama is their champion and all that.
