    Okay so I take it you now admit your original claim was false and are deflecting to something different.

    "The FBI has identified white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys to be domestic terrorists..."

    The Proud Boys have not been identified by the FBI as domestic terrorists and are not white supremacist.

    It appears the greatest terrorists we have terrorizing our country today are BLM and the fascist thugs Antifa.

    I criticized Trump a few times on this thread yesterday for taking a partisan side, including stating that I saw that as an unforced error. Perhaps you missed it.

    As far as inaction on Covid-19 and racial injustice, I disagree with you. He has taken considerable action on both counts. Perhaps you missed that, too.

    So you see that what we are going through now mirrors Germany in the late 1920's to early 1930's...


    ... and you are taking the side of the Nazi's?

    Interesting choice you made there. So if you were alive in Germany in the 1930's you would be a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer.

    This is a first for me to see someone so brazenly support that position. Is anyone else seeing something different?

    Brazen complicity, without a doubt.

    The blood of the shooting victim is on Ted Wheeler's hands.

    I saw you on the first part, and I think you missed my detailed post on the latter.

    I disagree with Trump on this point. I think Wheeler knows EXACTLY what he's doing, and he's allowing the lawlessness because deep down inside, in places he can't talk about in polite society, he WANTS the lawlessness. He welcomes it, approves of it, and secretly encourages it, and he's using his position to continue to enable it, while talking the talk in his official role of Mayor. I think Trump knows that, too, he just can't say it out loud because it's a pretty heavy thing for a POTUS to say. OTOH, I am NOT POTUS, I'm just an anonymous guy on an Internet forum, I CAN say it out loud. And I just did.

    Watch the Left drive Sullivan to the right by calling him a "fascist". lol

    Trump just may get more Democrat voters than he thinks (especially if he'll stop taking sides between citizen voters and just attack politicians, media and "the extremes").

    Segregation is the norm. People want to live around people who look like them and think like them. Don't listen to progressives, look at where they live. Where they live and who their neighbors are exposes the lie. If progressives believed their own rhetoric, they would be living in diverse communities. Instead what we find is that diversity only exists in poorer communities where people can't afford to move.

    I agree - Wheeler knows exactly what he's doing, as do most of the other mayors across the country who have allowed Leftist "activists" and "protest" groups to turn the streets of their cities into war zones.

    This isn't anything new, either. We saw the same thing here in Virginia three years ago when Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Mayor Michael Singer's deliberate negligence resulted in the violence that occurred in Charlottesville and contributed to the death of Heather Heyer:

    Now Ted Wheeler has blood on his hands.

    There is one demographic group that I don't think people are looking at and that is Democrat veterans that spent a substantial amount of time in the military or are still in the military. They are more independent than leftist Democrats. They served and are proud of it. They are proud to serve their country and think this kind of behavior is disgusting. To see so many elected Democrats enable this kind of activity and refuse to do what is needed to stop it is not invisible. People see it. Here is the article that made me think about this.

    Fatal Portland shooting witness: 'Appalled' by 'people in the street celebrating' victim's death
    Gabriel Johnson, a retired Marine who said he heard the gunshots that killed a man in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that he was “appalled” by “all of the people in the street celebrating” his death.

    “One thing that I would really like to note is kind of the timing of this whole thing because every news outlet that you hear would have you think that as this rally was going through Portland that's when all this unrest occurred,” Johnson said.

    “I was sitting here watching about an hour after all the live streams went down, basically coverage of this rally went off the air [and] about an hour later I hear a couple shots and I'm sitting here and I’m saying to myself, ‘Well, I know that's not fireworks because I know what that sounds like, those are bullets’ and immediately I got a text from a friend of law enforcement who let me know that there was a shooting four blocks from my house.”

    “So I got up and I wanted to find out for myself what happened because this is such a tragic event and a polarizing event for our city,” he continued, adding that he then went to the scene of the shooting and was “surveying the landscape.”

    “And one of the things that I just came back with, and I was appalled by, is all of the people in the street celebrating,” Johnson said.

    He noted that people were “specifically saying that they are not sad that a fascist Nazi was killed tonight.”

    I get the impression you don't know what TotallyFa is.

    If you do, perhaps you would care to explain how supporting fascists supposedly stops fascism...

    I don't support fascists and I don't really care what Professore Mustache has to say on the subject...

    Let's have a little test... get rid of the fascistic organizations Antifa opposes and see what happens to them (Antifa) as a result...

    Obviously, the "moderates" are no better than the extremists.

    Now that I think about it, there's no longer any reason to differentiate between the two - they've become one and the same.

    I believe that they thought that the time was ripe for their Global Socialist revolution. I feared that it was, also.

    It now appears that I was as wrong as I believe they were.

    Still, it is only a matter of time until their dreams are realized.
