    Non-equivalence, for sure. Did you realise that deaths due to right-wing terrorism outweighed those due to left wing terrorism by a factor of almost 4 to 1 in 2020? Did you include mass murders by right wing gun nuts in your calculations over the last 40 years?

    Blacks killing mostly blacks within the stressed and impoverished enclaves of Chicago, while terrible does not affect the wider population in the same way as domestic terrorism. It's also not terrorism.

    Some dudes holed up and it didn't go too well. Shots were fired but it wasn't anyone's goal to kill anyone. Again, false equivalence.

    It's hard to say how far the trump cult will go to serve their golden calf, but they've made an embarrassing start at their cpac rally.

    It beggars belief that the noisy cult continues. GOP, or whatever it is becoming, is going to either splinter into shards or cannibalize itself into a stunted growth.

    They didn't want that I don't think. It's the image of a military force outside the capital that they didn't want. Under normal circumstances that would have been upsetting to their liberal base.

    No one ever said bleach injections would defeat a virus. You fell for propaganda, that is your own fault.
    No one made any of these claims in a serious manner.

    your inability to sense when people are speaking humorously is your own shortcoming.

    but for instance claiming the world is going to end in just a few years.,..that is some crackpot stuff lol.

    Not nearly as much as as just each year of violence committed by non white supremacists lol. Destruction and violence has overwhelmingly been antifa and blm.

    no amount of hyper fear mongering is going to make white supremacy seem more dangerous. It’s a few idiots with no power.

    "Some dudes"? When you shoot a gun at a person what do YOU THINK the "goal" is?

    It was a group of anarchist leftist who took over however many blocks, declared it no longer the USA, charged protection $ for residents, would not allow police or EMTs in. That's what do you call it...insurrection?

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/7/2/21310109/chop-chaz-cleared-violence-explained
    But what initially started as a local curiosity, drawing residents and families from the surrounding area, eventually took a turn for the worse. Over the past nine days, the area saw four shootings, two deaths, arson, and several alleged sexual assaults. According to FBI data, there were 34 homicides reported in 2018 in all of Seattle.

    https://www.city-journal.org/end-of-chaz
    Ultimately, the problem of violence—and a dangerously naive understanding of policing—doomed the CHAZ. Over its 24-day history, the autonomous zone saw two gun homicides and four additional shooting victims. All the identified victims were black men—precisely the demographic for whom the CHAZ had claimed to offer protection. In the absence of a legitimate police force, armed criminal gangs and untrained anarchist paramilitaries filled the void. Almost every night, gunshots rang through the streets. The first homicide victim was killed in an outburst of gang violence; the second, reportedly unarmed and joyriding in a stolen car, was gunned down by the “CHAZ security force.”

    Oh BS. Let me guess, these were ALL done by "Trump supporters"? You exist in a fantasy land.

    We need to call out the Washington Police Force, Sheriff's department, Capitol Police and Sheriff;s department, The Army and Army Rangers, The Navy, The Marines, Air Force, National Guard, All forces of the law for all of this. So we can be safe.

    Was not President Trump impeached for inspiring his supporters for spontaneously attacking Cortez woman and other Democrats in the Capitol?

    I was gonna suggest someone speaks from both sides of the mouth, but m sure the moderators won’t be happy about it. So, I won’t. :D

    Only an absolute fool would believe the only way to incite someone is to do so in one speech.

    Yes, I would abstain from making comments about people speaking from both sides of their mouth when one don’t even comprehend what is being said ;)
