Police killing innocents. Neighborhoods burning. Coronavirus uncontained. Unemployment the worst since the depression. Americans can't travel abroad. Kids in cages. Nepotism at the highest level. President supporting election interference. Senate looking the other way.

It must be nice - watching as these f*cks pillage America - while you sit comfortably at home with little to lose.

Masses are struggling and dying, Rome is burning, but keep fiddling away and wondering why people are pissed.

Now where have I heard hyperbole like that before. :coffee:

Ah yes, it just came back to me. It was at both the RNC and DNC conventions. :roll:

I feel sorry for you if you truly believe that Trump and the Republicans are solely responsible for what's happened and is happening in America right now.
Yup, but Leftists won't let that get in the way of a "Orange Man Bad" narrative...

Donk mayors allow rioting, looting, and arson in their cities, while...
Donk governors order businesses to close throwing millions of people into unemployment.

TRUMPS FAULT!!!
And Trump is saying those will continue BECAUSE of Biden if he’s elected. So it must be true that he’s (Trump) is to blame.

So now that it’s happening under Trump as POTUS, with more power and authority than a VP, it’s different?

Well of course they aren't. But Trump is pitching them like they aren't his fault but when they continue under a President Biden it will be Biden's fault. I'm not surprised the average Trump voter hasn't identified the fallacious logic with that position.

Way too many people conflate Trump being the cause of our problems with being a symptom of them.

Most of the bile out there on social media and the mass media existed well before Trump ever ran for the GOP nomination

Everybody is firmly ensconced in their trenches, everybody hates each other from behind a keyboard but not in person, and everybody wants to taunt and enflame the other side. The left has reacted VERY poorly to this... and it remains to be seen how the right will behave when being taunted by the left when their own demagogue is in office. Maybe they’ll remain like the comparatively benign Tea Party. Or maybe we are just in a progressive cycle of escalation.

But acting like a bunch of cunts in response to the other side’s cunts is not acceptable. And I blame Trump for very little of what is happening on the streets. Saying that he’s at fault smells a lot like the people who clutch their pearls over criticisms of Islam that leads rando Muslims to go berzerk... it is infantilizing legitimate protest

Ten people killed in Chicago over the weekend. What's going on Portland is bad but there's a bloodbath in large cities across the country that falls squarely on large city mayors antagonizing their PDs (see: The Ferguson Effect). It'll take a decade at least for the number of unarmed black people killed by police to match the excess homicide deaths of young black men. But at least these mayors scored political points. Black Lives Matter indeed.

The hate is coming out from behind the keyboard and metastasizing. Gangs of leftists and rightists fighting each other in the streets now, as in Weimar Germany. This can’t end well.

There’s no such thing as a moderate militia

Maybe we can just declare Portland as a free for all no penalty zone and let all the nutters flock there and massacre each other
