Liberals/progressives/socialists took to the streets today, will be back tomorrow

The leftists have declared war on America.

Today, they took to the streets, rioting, vandalizing, setting things on fire and injuring police officers.

Tomorrow, they will be back, marching on Washington DC.

Normal Americans have had our fill of these fools; Obama's gone, leftists no longer control congress and are about to lose their majority on the supreme court.

In spite of what these extremest left wing Democrats chant during their march tomorrow, regardless of how many American flags they burn, their time is over. Their party has become a regional, extremest party that has no interest in the lives of normal Americans and only cares about the fringe, extremest elements of our great American culture.

I realize some leftists here will attempt to correct me, pointing out that the left wing feminist extremists marching tomorrow in Washington DC are "different" then the left wing extremists who rampaged today; nope, same liberal/progressive/socialist belief system.

Your time is over now. You are now back on the fringes, where you used to be until the failed Obama ran your party into the ground...

 

I won't be surprised if Trump has them all arrested and put on a chain gang helping to build the wall.

Once they see that happening, they might think again before confusing a riot from a protest.

 

Fascinating. One important question.

How can left voters be on the fringe when most of the country voted left?

Are you saying because we don't have legislative power we're on the fringe?

 

I was disappointed with the inauguration protests not even CNN was covering them. I thought at least a few Bernie supporters would be out there burning effigies of Trump and Hillary. Maybe they'll do better today.

 

The "country" didn't vote left, a few fringe urban areas did. Hence, my observation that the Democratic Party has become nothing more than a regional party.

And since 2010, the "country" has voted against the left, as the loss of over 1,000 federal and state legislative seats have shown.

Obama took the Democratic Party so far left most Americans no longer recognize it as the party of JFK or even Clinton. And instead of learning from this, the old leftists who control the party are preparing to move even further left. Bad for liberals/progressives/socialists, but good for the rest of America...

 

Most of the country voted left?

 

I wonder how many of these liberal/progressive/socialist were protesting for the almighty dollar? As in rent a protester!!

 

And their ilk is the reason Trump is president. They will achieve nothing but affirming Trump voters reason for voting for him.

 

I think because you guys are taking to the streets and rioting means you're on the fringe.

 

The 2016 county by county election map is even more revealing:



The Democrats have become a regional, fringe party...

 

The red areas are the United States of America. The Blue areas are Dumb(*)(*)(*)(*)istan.

 

Are you forgetting the actual numbers of voters who voted either way? The left didn't lose that battle. Why doesn't this count at all?

You seem to be confusing land areas with actual voting Americans.

Indeed? How so?

 

I expected more protests and protesters. There were more Fake News reporters than protesters at the protests.

 

Because they're rioting. That's not a mainstream activity. It's a criminal activity of fringe anarchists.

 

I'd say "fringe" fits. Ca. & NY are on the fringes of the nation. It's even misleading to say "most of the country voted left", too. But, whatever. You folks never seem to find fault with yourselves, so, doubt that will change no matter how much political power you lose.

 

They started yesterday with the 90 some they arrested. All are facing federal felony charges. I bet they thought they were going to get arrested and released pending a court date. That ought to sting a little.

 

Ironically it is a series of closed negative feedback loops. The DNC effectively controls both the Mainstream Media and most of the 'independent' polling companies which in turn tell them precisely what their masters WANT to hear. Thus the 'truth' never EVER reaches the ears of the Dem Party leadership except by way of either Fox News or The Drudge Report, both of which they automatically dismiss as fake news. Thus they continue to lose political power and haven't got a bloody clue as to . . . why.

Brilliant!

 

Most of the country did not vote left, most of the people in California did.

 

Tabulating American voters about their politics are difficult to quantify unless you plan on conducting a poll that wants to determine where people align ideologically. The same people who voted in the last election may not have voted in elections before the more recent one. There is also the issue with new voters, likely voters, disenfranchised voters, etc. It's very difficult to take an exit poll and draw conclusions such as, "this many person voted for this candidate; therefore, the country is more liberal/conservative than we believe." There is also the issues relating to the policies of the candidate. For these reasons, merely looking at exit polling data from a Presidential election is ineffective.

What has been considered more efficient is looking at Gubernatorial races, Senate races and races for the House of Representatives. Currently, there are 241 Republican versus 194 Democrats in the House, 52 Republicans versus 48 Democrats Senators, and 33 Republican governors versus 16 Democrat governors (which is almost enough for Republicans to pass any constitutional amendment, unopposed).

Values among voters have changed overtime, but the country leans more towards the right than people otherwise believe.

 

Your words, "How can left voters be on the fringe when most of the country voted left?" I clearly demonstrated that most of the country did not vote left. Now, you are changing the criteria to "actual voting Americans" voted left, but this is unsupportable also. There were 137,079,706 votes cast. For your statement to be true, 68,538,854 would have had to vote left. But Hillary only received 65,845,063 votes. Even if you add in votes received by Bernie Sanders (write-in), Jill Stein (Green Party) and Gloria La Riva (Socialism and Liberation Party) you only get 67,488,365. Just a little over a million shy of most of the "actual voting Americans". So, your statement is clearly unsupportable.

 

Anarchists often mix in with large protests hoping to spread panic and mayhem that otherwise would not be caused. It doesn't mean the main protestors are responsible.

 

Funny, during the tea party protests in Washington these "anarchists" never seems to materialize.

Or, it could be that leftists are simply more violent than us normal Americans?

 

Fascinating.

You didn't address my observation about the Democrats losing over 1,000 federal and state legislative seats since 2010. Why do you think this is?

Democrats hold power in urban areas, of course, which is reflected in the horrible living conditions in these armpits of society. But in normal America Democrats have become a fringe party.

 

Don't know anything about the Washington march you are speaking to, but the Tea Party protests have, in fact, involved violence:

http://www.salon.com/2016/03/15/the...he_tea_party_was_crashing_obamacare_meetings/ ("The list of conservatives pinning blame on protesters for violence at Trump rallies is unreasonably long — especially considering the same conservatives’ incongruous response to protests that align with their politics."

Took me like one google search to fairly blunt the thrust of your spear there, Spartacus.

 

It was very impressive today. I only saw Madonna. She said she wants to blow up the White House and then she dropped several f-bombs on national TV.

Obviously that was a quality group at the march.
