Democrats Call Riots ‘Part of This Country’s March Towards Progress’
Breitbart ^ | 5/31/2020

Tweet Deleted

The official Twitter account of the Fairfax County Democratic Committee in Virginia retweeted a claim on Saturday that “Riots are an integral part of this country’s march towards progress,” as the country was gripped by violence.

Update: The tweet was deleted Monday afternoon, but survives in screen shot form:

The tweet referred to a passage in President Barack Obama’s obama medium , in which he said: “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths –- that all of us are created equal –- is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.”

The Stonewall Riots occurred in New York City in 1969 and are considered a crucial event in the emergence of the gay rights movement.

However, as the Wall Street Journal noted last year, the drama and violence of the riots overshadowed a non-violent gay rights movement that had already existed for a decade, and which lay the groundwork for what followed:

Stonewall has long been credited as the event that sparked the modern gay rights movement. But while the riots that ensued over three days and nights in late June 1969 were undoubtedly transformative, they weren’t the first time that gay people had resisted persecution. Stonewall was preceded by well over a decade of gay civil rights activism, much of it led by a man named Frank Kameny. The rhetoric and strategies that he employed were less confrontational than those adopted by the people at Stonewall, but they set the intellectual template for the gay movement’s eventual success.

Yeah, we sure gained a lot from the 1965 Watts riots.

The Democrat Party is openly using violence to advance its communistic agenda.

Sickening.

It will be a march towards progress if we shoot the rioters. Especially the white rioters, who are simply anarchists.

This is their time. It won’t get any better for them. They saw nearly the entire country meekly head to their homes to avoid a virus. Most will want to avoid the protestors with the belief the police or Trump will somehow stop them. Good luck with that.

Make no mistake: All Leftists believe this to be true, and is a tool for them to achieve that "goal".

Any people OF ANY COLOR OR RELIGION who are murdered, injured, assaulted, or lose their business are simply eggs to be broken when making their damned idiotic utopian omellette.

To them, that is all those people are. Collateral damage, a price to be paid.

Progress towards a steep cliff! Shows you who is behind the violence besides Soros and company.

This is what Dems want. If they win elections I suppose it’s what Americans want too.

It’s true folks-

The riots have caused the President to label Antifa as a terrorist group- so yes, we’re marching towards progress alright- Hopefully he comes out and condemns ANYONE who financially supports antifa too- that will be a tremendous amount of progress if he does-

All they need to do is riot in suburbia and they’ll lose the soccer mom vote, assuming she recovers from getting hit in the head from a brick in time to vote

I remember as a kid watching the riots in Gary, Indiana on the news. And just look at the place now!

If this is progress, then I will take regression every time. In no way have the human condition been improved or moral standards been raised by ANY of the policies endorsed by the Democrat thugocracy.

Cancer is progressive. If the progress is not halted, it soon overwhelms the host. And rarely is the cancer beneficial in any way, except to redouble the intensity of the fight against it. Cure only comes when the cancer is fully excised.

“Deconstruct White Supremacy” means “Kill whitey, take all his stuff, and end the Constitutional Republic” in that order.

What the hell does this jackass call “Progress”?

Burning years of work isn’t “Progress”.

Lock him up!
