Thank you. I feel relieved that I finally got through to somebody.

WE are the ones being gaslighted every time we assume any reference to white extremists is directed at us.

Our knee-jerk reaction causes those who view themselves as non-political to instinctively think to themselves, "Hmmmm, the lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Okay. So what? As far as I’m concerned, tying either one (or both) to these riots is fine.

Okay, wait. I’m losing track. Now there’s white supremacists, militant white activists and white Communists? And why do we care which is being tied to these riots? Do you feel a kinship with one or the other? I don’t.

There must be an exception to the natural born citizen clause if you’re the right shade of brown, because ALL of our elected AND appointed went along with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

So? Why do we care if they’re being tied to this?

Yes,I worded my post incorrectly.

Antifa (aka: Maoists) hate whites

"White Supremacists" hate blacks

It is outsiders coming in and fanning the flames.
But most likely Antifa types.

Any reference to white supremacists, white extremists or militant white activists is DESIGNED for us to come to the defense of those groups. Whether they are taking part or not is irrelevant.

The Fake News Media and demonicRATS win when we take the bait.

You can't deny such groups exist. Insignificant as their numbers might be, if The Left wants to tie them to these riots, so be it.

“Why does our side always come to the defense of white supremacists or white extremists?”

I suppose there could be an isolated white extremist somewhere; I don't know any.

I do know that every Democrat voter claims that President Trump is a white extremist.

I don't believe that and here's why: I don't believe it because it is not true.

I will continue to defend President Trump.

But building on your thought: Can you cite the names of a half-dozen national figures that you know to be white extremists?

Other than the white, extreme Joe Biden.

The White Nationalist group AntiFa is responsible and they are financed by White Nationalist Leader George Soros

I'm not going to negotiate on how poorly we should treat "white supremacists" until I make sure the person I'm negotiating with doesn't mean me too.

Now that they've blamed "white supremacists" for the looting, "white supremacist" just means, "anything bad" like how some Islamists will use "Jew" or "Zionist"

No. That's my whole point. If there's even one white supremacist, white extremist or militant white activist taking part in these riots, I don't give a flying fig.

Now, if you want to tie that one person to Joe Biden or George Soros or the ghost of Robert KKK Byrd, fine. I'm all for that. I just don't understand why we feel it is incumbent upon us to disprove that person is taking part or is responsible for what's going on.

White supremacist to us means some loser who sees merit in the political philosophy and actions of Adolf Hitler.

White supremacist to the average leftist means anyone right of the center-left political mainstream so therefore the Trump voter support base.

They can’t just come out and say “Trump supporters” played a role in these disturbances, but the allegation is shorthand for saying that, and what that tells me is, white liberals are now into a sort of intellectual death spiral, first their model nation China deliberately infects the entire globe with this nuisance virus just to get a bit of petty revenge for imagined slights, then they have to put up with Joe Biden, obviously a mental defective, as their only possible alternative to Trump, and to make things worse, in the middle of a huge economic slowdown, they can’t find one place that turned cold enough to justify rattling on about permanently closing down the economy, so their brains have fried, now they see Trump supporters looting stores and burning police cars.

I think it’s the last stage before a sort of mass conversion experience where people finally realize their foundational belief structures are nonsense and their opponents were right all along (way right, like extremely right).

Or maybe they are just plain stupid, I mean, they can’t be learning anything useful at those colleges they run, look at the names of the courses they teach there. Is any of that real? Half the words have only existed since they made them up ten years ago. Nobody knows what they mean. I defy anyone here to explain to me what the intersectionality of an ambiguous gender milieu is. Go ahead, give it a try.

I’m drawing a total blank. Just like looking for those white supremacists hanging with the brothers in the hood.

Oh now I get it — hood — somebody thought it meant white hood. Well that’s an easy mistake, any leftist could make that mistake.

BAM! Exactly! Any white extremists taking part in these riots have ties to Leftists, not us. Let the Lefties come to their defense.

You’re only confusing yourself.

Both Nazis and communists are despots and horrible people and fascism and communism are justly denounced, But the media loves to make excuses for the damned communists who have killed 100 million people.

There is zero support for white supremacy in my postings. But if you want to echo art arsevado’s conspiracy theory that it’s white supremacists not coordinated “anti”f@ggots then it is your cause to spread a lie.
