I'm still annoyed about this. The stupid pundits keep playing; kick them, dont be civil etc. it has been nonstops all day. Im annoyed that so many Americans still support Trump and Im especially annoyed by some of my own family members who think we are the violent ones.
The right squawk machine is convincing regular folks that the left is a scary, violent unhinged mob. The media, the dark money, the billions spent on our elections its all insane and so scary!
Power gives up nothing without a fight. I fear its going to get ugly.

(3,479 posts)that the vast majority of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by right-wing extremists? That the vast majority of hate crimes are perpetrated by hate groups who are unabashedly loyal to Trump?!? JFC, anyone?

(6,092 posts)right and as soon as the left says something mildly negative towards a poor little republican it's all over the news blah blah blah. It's so dangerous right now.

(6,092 posts)I think Bernie is just trying to make sure that it doesn't sound like the leaders are exciting people to be not civil and violent. Look what has happened to the few who have said just a couple of off-the-cuff things; no civility, kick them, take them out back etc but now they're being equated to neo nazis😒
Protesters will determine what to do from the ground up. Dont need directions from old goat dems😆
