"the movement."

[The Grand Nudger]

I have no problem with people protesting. I have a problem with people rioting though. And what I wrote about is what a lot of people perceive. Maybe you don't, but tens of millions do.

Tens of millions are uncomfortable with justified violence.  I'm not.  

As to BLM, I happen to think it's chosen some awful martyrs and fomented riots due to the tone of its discourse. And I think what's missing from it is any sense of introspection. There's very little, if anything, that communicates that they need to do something to improve their communities. It's all outwardly directed, and I see absolutely no way that's ever going to improve the lives of black people in this country because that's what's been done since the 1960s and for the amount of effort that's gone into it, the results have been pretty poor. When conservatives excoriate Democrats for the results they've gotten in this particular area, can you really argue with them? 

Good luck assassinating a movement by assassinating it's perceived leaders.  It's perceived ideology.   It's perceived sleights.

And what do we, myself included, call Rust Belt Trump voters? Bumpkins, rednecks, hillbillies, etc. And there's no social repercussions for it. We can say, "Go get an education because your factory jobs aren't coming back" and it's perfectly acceptable. The tone can be harsh, dismissive, and unforgiving, as if those aren't real concerns and those aren't real people with real families. But the liberal attitude in general is "tough shit." And now we've seen pushback in the form of the most unqualified bastard to ever be POTUS.

Yeah, tough shit....so?  I'm a child of Dixie...and even -I- can see that.  Pushback?  Fuck em.
