Your thoughts on the protests

[Drich]

oh my Glob..

Adventure Time or...?

What other time would it be?

[Drich]

then google it moron just like I did. Don't just sit in a willful vacuum of ignorance and claim you want context!

There was a very minor fender bender and dude had a trump sticker, then the 'Dims' in the other car went Ape Sh*t on the guy. beating the hell out of him and stealing his car. All the while making a video shouting their disdain for his right to vote for trump!!!

What more context do you need?

These were bad people, that is your context!

Listen, dipshit. You were attributing the attack to him being a supporter of Trump. You said it had partly to do with him having a Trump sticker, and you kudosed EP for his post implying that you had the mistaken belief that the attack was at least partly to do with Trump.

But from what reports of the police show according to snopes, the attack didn't start because of him being a Trump supporter. In fact, if you listen to the lady, she sounded surprised that he turned out to be a Trump supporter. Furthermore, there is nothing to indicate that these were Hillary supporters who attacked him (and yes, you didn't say they were, but this is to make it clear for others).

And no you don't want to make up your own story when it comes to judging the context of certain situations, you always need to check various sources first before you jump to hasty conclusions. This is a sign of using your brain the right way, and not a sign of weakness. But then again, I don't expect much from a sad moron like you.

Good glob..

NOW READ THE OTHER 1/2 of what I orginally said!!!

IT STARTED WITH A FENDER BENDER!!!

then the 'Dims' in the other car went Ape Sh*t on the guy. beating the hell out of him and stealing his car. All the while making a video shouting their disdain for his right to vote for trump!!!

This is what's inhearently wrong with you guys. You change fact to fit your own narritive. You want/need me to be arguing the idea that this man was hunted down and targeted because of a sticker.. Again NEVER Said that.

I Said It started with an accident and escilated because he was a trump supporter and the beating according to the woman who recorded it was because of the mans suspected vote!!!

Read what is on page maker of strawmen

The electoral college is not democracy. I presume they are protesting getting Trump despite Hillary winning the popular vote. 4th time in history, twice in less than 20 years.

You don't vote for president and neither do I. 538 special people cast ballots on your behalf, but are mostly not even required to accurately represent their states.

5th time actually if you count the time there were 4 main candidates and nobody won a majority, so the House picked the President.

Guys, guys. Yes, dems can be as jackass as repubs. The point is that Trump incited violence everywhre, regardless of political affiliation.
I think a lot more of it will be aimed at minorities (who may well have voted for Trump for all we know), but he said such violent things, all the time, that he made America in general more violent and angry.

Go on, deny that you Ostriches.

Make America Hate again. That's not even Rhetoric.
Yeah, things will probably die down again for a while, but if he enacts some of the things he said he would regarding Muslims, Hispanics, and LGBT folks, do you think people aren't going to react?

How will trumpsters react when he -doesn't- enact those things?  

(lol, I know, I know...not painting a pretty picture...just trying to tease out a smile)

You are the strangest man, lol. Thanks for the smile, which you were successful in getting.

Yeah, so far it seems his Rhetoric was just that.  He's all hot air.  Of course, it still empowers the tiny little bigots, but hopefully they'll sit back down and shut back up if Trump can keep his stupid toned down for a while, and they realize nothing has really changed, the Nazis aren't actually taking over.  Best case scenario, anyway.

It makes them Americans. As I said I believe it is an overreaction, but it is a reaction nonetheless and if the people want to protest, more power to 'em. This is America. A place where you get to voice your opinion even if no one is listening.

Protests do not make you nor dismiss you as an American. we have the right to peacefully protest, not riot.

Rioting makes them hypocrites. they claim trump will destroy America as they themselves destroy what they can of this country.

My point exactly. Them protesting doesn't really matter, they're just Americans voicing their opinion.

I have not heard a single reputable news agency refer to any of these gatherings as riots - not sure where you're getting that from. If I'm mistake please feel free to correct me. Besides that, I'm not really sure what the point is that you're trying to make. I don't think any of the protestors are 'trying to destroy what they can of this country.' Sounds like an overreaction on your part.

Apathetic to answer your question. We had a rightwing government between 2000 and 2006. The courts are still busy cleaning up the massive corruption to the detriment of the tax payers. And yet the same rightwing party is again leading the polls.

These people don't ask questions. That's why I have such a high level of contempt for anyone voting rightwingers into office. They're like sheep and if there's one thing I really despise it's malicious ignorance. They just want to be presented with some group to focus their hate on. Everything else is secondary, even if it costs them money out of their own pockets.
