Ignorant libs may yet ignite a spark of thought between their ears.

Those complicit? Not so much.

I daily converse with both.

The ignorant ones I can with a few words send away wondering.

The complicit ones, no hope, they just need to be ignored, they have nothing to offer except blind hatred for orange man, and an insatiable appetite for cnn/view news.

Of course NOT!

They gave Trump the best campaign slogan in history, “I did it once, I’ll do it again!”

All this does is shine a very bright light on the Left’s strong compulsion to get back into political power. It shows they will stop at nothing. They don’t care to leave thousands of people, if not millions, in their bloody, destructive wake: Wrecking cities, communities and lives; hoping they will wreck our nation.

Truth is, Trump is a target, not because he is a moral icon, but he is fundamentally a good, decent, compassionate man who believes in our nation and our freedom. Trump is hated by all of the people I have judged to be evil and immoral. The more they hate Trump, the better I like him and the more committed I am to supporting him.

All the Republicans have to do...

The problem with that thought is if this keeps up the GOP is going to start distancing itself from Trump. The rinos and squishes(think Romney and crew) will see this as an opportunity to rid themselves of President Trump.

What we are seeing is the legacy of leftism, the progressive contempt for personal responsibility, for capitalism and for our constitutional democracy. It is precisely this kind of lawlessness that got Trump elected.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Don’t let the “Concern Troll” trump haters get you down.

You have called it perfectly.

When proof of linkage between ANTIFA and the DNC is revealed, you can bet it will indeed insure the re-election of PDJT.

The biden campaign contrinbuted 2 million dollars to the Minneapolic “Feedom Fund” that pays for egal services to get apprehended ANTIFA looters out of jail. It could not be much clearer whats going on here.

The Floyd protestors did not turn int o looters at the snap of a finger. I mean who paid to preposition bricks on pallets for looters all across the country? Who brought water bottles full of gasoline. No protesters IMHO.

Democrat property owners and business people will vote for Donald Trump now, in their millions.ANTIFA with their DNC connections are going down.

To clarify:

The word they in post #1 does not refer to those who protest injustice. They should. All benevolent people oppose injustice.

No, post #1 refers to the people who want to destroy the USA. I don't know exactly who they are, but they do exist.

People have eyes. They know liberal cities in liberal states were allowed to be looted and burned.

Liberal politicians told the police to stand down and let the places burn.

Police were NOT even allowed to protect their police cars in these liberal hellholes.

Police were not allowed to protect our businesses, our cities, or our lives either. When cities burn democrats get a firmer grip on power. Police were put on the streets to make sure no one stopped looters. No, it wasn’t what the police wanted to do - it was what they were ordered to do = - by elected democrats.

So, anyone who wants to live in a hellhole can live in a democrat run city...

And remember, NONE OF THE CITIES BURNED AND LOOTED IN THE PAST RECOVERED. Property values dropped, violent crime skyrocketed and blacks moved into nicely maintained formerly white neighborhoods... where they quickly turned beautiful neighborhoods into hellholes.

Look at pictures of Detroit.

Look at pictures of any areas burned out... It’s the same story. And yes, that will happen again. If you live in a riot area, move out first - and you’ll lose the least.

$$$$ is the only language corrupt mayors and hack politicians understand. Maybe class actions can be filed against any municipality that has "TO PROTECT AND SERVE " emblazoned on their patrol vehicles. As we are witnessing that's straight up fraud and false advertising.

Big $$$$ is involved - you’re right on that...and the winner is the black community and black politicians. The real looting is just beginning.

The reality is black thugs burned and looted out cities and democrats who ran those cities told police to stand down.

Police were not even allowed to protect their police cars from being burned - no less allowed to protect the property of innocent citizens.

And the result?

People of all other races will flee these cities - just like they’ve done the past 50 years when blacks riot. (Check out history - these places NEVER come back)

The the ugly result?

Then the REAL LOOTING STARTS. As other races leave blacks move into our well maintained homes, buying them on the cheap, running them into the ground as the black hellhole expands.

It’s ugly, but it’s the truth. Look at pictures of Detroit ‘before riots and after’... and any of the other cities blacks have burned and destroyed. The black community BENEFITS.

One consequence of these riots may be the end of the gentrification movement in many cities. Those who can afford new or renovated housing in central cities and who fear for their safety now that the dogs of Antifa and BLM have been released may now decide that suburbia, though dull, is at least safer than cities where the local governments are leftist run. In other words, a repetition of the white flight that followed the 1960s riots and mandatory school busing in the 1970s. With the effects of the COVID-19 “plandemic” showing that teleworking is effective, the need for hundreds or thousands of people driving or taking mass transit to office jobs is lessened. The effect may be likened to the shutting down of factory jobs in the Rust Belt in the 1970s and 1980s, as production was moved offshore. The consequences of the events of this year may lead to inner city decay similar to what happened in the last half of the 20th Century.

...white flight that followed the 1960s riots

People who didn't get out of those early 60's 'hellholes in process' lost everything.

Many were trapped in 'communities' that became more violent every year, and their homes became worthless - so they couldn't leave.

Everyone living in a burned out looted neighborhood needs to leave as soon as they can... those places never will recover.

And yeah, blacks financially benefit - buying nice well maintained homes for next to nothing. It takes 15 years to run a nicely maintained home totally into the ground.

Blacks took over some of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Detroit... and the homes can't be given away now.

People of ALL other races need to get out while the getting is easy... Yes, folks in Minneapolis that means YOU.

And yeah, gentrification is the flip side. White people move back into black hellholes because the homes our grandfathers built have 'good bones'. Bones the black community wasn't able to destroy - then they fix up those homes and property values go up.

Cities cap taxes on people who have lived there a long time so blacks aren't forced out of their homes by tax increases (which is fair and just), but THEY DO GET BOUGHT out by higher prices offered.

Greed is a reality for both sides. But blacks aren't burned out or intimidated and looted - they're offered a higher price for what they own.

You see the moral difference, right?

White liberal 'elites' sold out our American workers with their love of cheap labor and globalization. We know how that's worked out. That's NOT happening now.

With any luck Trump will be able to bring jobs back to the US and will start the process of reversing the decay in our cities. That helps workers of all races. These riots came at a bad time... employment was finally going up for black men. Riots hurt black workers, help black politicians, and up racial hatreds. These are sad times.
