    THE ANSWER is Americans, from across the political spectrum, are angry about an unelected tRaitor tRump sickofan illegally disrupting and dismantling THEIR government, that has been built over the last 240 years, in just 7 weeks on the basis of sketchy accusations and little fact.

    Yeah, a riot composed of Democrats for a Democrat cause in the middle of a Democrat city can’t be called a Democrat riot. Lol!

    Thanks for proving my point

    Thanks for proving my point. And in your case, you even included exact verbiage copy pasted from your bumper sticker: “mostly peaceful” indeed. Lol!

    i feel like saying this almost every day. i read so much utter nonsense like this that i've become fairly sure this is just an involuntary response. the poor souls have no control over their hatred of anything that doesn't toe the party line. can we really blame them? the basic progressive talking points are either too ludicrous to repeat or so hypocritical that only a brain-dead muskrat would dare utter them. the only alternative is to attack, attack, attack.

    Well... if you are going to claim that they were democrats, then they are RIGHT to demand that you prove it! Voter party registration records are usually public. So what you say might be true. But you have to PROVE it. Show us it's not just something you pulled out of Sean Hannity's ass.

    But people are just... people. Makes no difference what their party affiliation is. What matter is if their demands are legitimate. BLM's are legitimate. Those protesting against an unelected official with too much power are right. January 6 insurrectionists were LIED to.

    So your poor attempt to compare is a big failure.

    Exactly, a riot composed of Democrats for a Democrat cause in the middle of a Democrat city can’t be called a Democrat riot and you need proof.

    Thanks again for proving my point! Appreciate it!

    It doesn't have to be party line. When people see their savings evaporate in the stock market, or lose their jobs, or other benefits and they trace the blame to the doge-bag policies, then it's personal, and not 'party line' issue.

    Veterans are marching in DC tomorrow to protest the policies, and I doubt its about party lines, but rather personal disagreements with the policies.

    BLM and Floyd protests were largely peaceful, data confirms

    https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Polit...-protests-were-largely-peaceful-data-confirms

    upload_2025-3-13_9-8-31.png



    The violence during the George Floyd protests was caused by a combination of factors, including confrontations between protesters and police, as well as the actions of individuals with extremist motives, such as a member of a white supremacist group who incited violence. While many protests remained peaceful, tensions escalated in some areas due to heavy-handed police responses and the presence of individuals seeking to provoke unrest.

    Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police

    A masked, umbrella-wielding man accused of helping incite riots and looting in the aftermath of George Floyd's police-involved death has been identified as a member of a white supremacist group that aimed to stir racial tensions amid largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, according to police.

    I am pro-global-warming and CO2. I see EVs as a money-making gimmick that Elon is capitalizing on. He knows they're still primarily coal and gas powered.

    Its true most leftists are not burning and smashing Teslas themselves. But the tacit approval of those that are is perceptible. Juxtaposed to the tacit approval of the EV mandates of prior administrations is telling of an ulterior agenda that is something other than 'protecting the environment.' Given the result has only been consolidation of regulatory authority, it stands to reason that is the actual goal.

    In Germany we have this problem: The left love EV, but the conservatives (european style: "keep the fire alive, not pray to dead ashes" hate those cars saying there will always be gas burners only. Our fashists are irritated at the moment. A US-guy who is selling EVs loves thoses guys.

    Who has Elon hurt and how?

    Are you suggesting its the ~200,000 recently fired federal employees burning down Tesla dealerships? Perhaps they might be able to claim DOGE 'hurt' them... but that would be an interesting argument, given they were paid from public coffers.

    All you've proven is you refuse to read and when confronted with real facts you can throw a tantrum. :shock:!

    These are three unrelated sentences that shouldn't be in a single paragraph. Are you FOR global warming and increased CO2?

    EV's are pretty cool all on their own. Expensive to buy, probably not all that energy efficient creation to being junked, but are really cheap to operate once the initial purchase price is absorbed. I posit they are a worthwhile experiment that stands alone as being worthwhile independent of the environment.

    Musk? Cars are not coal powered. :shock:
    Americans, not just "the left" are pushing back on pResident mUsks assault on our government.
    The fact is that someday we are going to run out of petroleum, and we need to figure out an alternative.

    The people he has fired. By firing them!

    What an absurd question! Are you even paying attention to what is going on?

    Here's my take on the global warming craze.

    Al Gore pushes global warming and makes big bank doing it. He seeks out some researchers and promises them grants on the condition they find him more global warming. These researchers take 2+2 and turn the answer into 5, because, you know, science. That science then permeates into schools and other liberal strongholds which brainwashes people, and we've seen how young some of those people are, into thinking global warming is going to end the world. So with very little of their own effort, if they can tell you how to live your life, what sacrifices you have to make and how much effort you have to put out, then they feel good about themselves even though they've done almost nothing to reduce global warming.

    The second thing is how the left organizes violence and riots. For whatever reason, libs seem to always know where and when the next protest will be, and since they don't work, they're always available to show up. There's even a Soros back group that essentially rents out riots and puts ads on Craigs List asking for rioters to show up. In order to participate in protests and riots, a person has to be very emotionally involved or paid quite well. With all that emotion circling their brains, much of it hateful, it ultimately leads up to a person needing a release and that's when the violence and destruction starts. Take a look a just about any gathering of libs and you will see my hypothesis in action.

    Many of the instigators of violence came in from outside the area were the violence took place WITH the intention of fomenting violence in an otherwise peaceful protest.

    These guys are not BLM.

    Why hate Musk? He is only a messenger. It's about time someone pointed out all the waste our government is doing with our money. Musk has no power and cannot cut anything. He cannot fire anyone. If someone was setting fire to your money, wouldn't you want to be told, or would you be mad at the person who told you? Sheesh.
