Does this college lecture on 20th century history ring any bells today?

When you make up straw men, it's easy to argue against them.

A response doesn't get any weaker than the one you just offered. Could you not find any talking points to copy and paste in response, or were you too lazy to look for any?

That was rhetorical, so don't bother responding.

Meh. That's all you ever do.

Its not ignorance nor or lies...its fact. The rich are not oppressing you, they are carrying you. The only areas at all where you can find systemic poverty is in the major cities run by the rat party you support.

As expected - the former.

The idiot left commits violent acts and then cry because the police are mean to them and don't let them have their way.

Again, political disagreement is not the same as victimhood.

Conservatives blame democrats and their progressive supporters for bad policy and don't claim to be victims of any race or class of people... The left tells minorities that they are being oppressed by white people and that our society was built upon, and centered around a system of racism that white people created for their own benefit. They tell women that they are victims and the gender pay gap is due to male discrimination and misogyny. They tell people in lower income brackets that they are oppressed and it's the rich preventing them from being successful.

The progressive left is centered on identity politics and is hell bent on starting a revolution and destroying our society from within.

I don't know about that. Once these "conservatives" realize that these policies really do work better, they seem to suddenly be OK with it. You see, it's only socialism if they think it helps someone else. But once they realize it actually helps them, why then it's as American as apple pie. Who knew even folks as smart, hardworking, and good-lookin' as them could hit hard times?

It is fact that blue areas generate 70% of the entire GDP of this country- and growing. That's one of the reasons Trump country is stagnating and feeling left behind by the world. They want to tell the world to stop and go back to when they were doing well. That's their idea of how to be great again. But that's not how the world works.

Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? | Brookings

This economic rift that persists in dividing the nation is a problem because it underscores the near-certainty of both continued clashes between the political parties and continued alienation and misunderstandings.

No- they were not there just to protest. They were there “fight like hell” to “stop the steal”- to keep the US government from doing its job in the legitimate transition of power, and illegitimately keep a lying, corrupt charlatan in office.

Your opinion is noted, despite being wrong. Because even the FBI managed to find out that only a few individuals actually had plans to get into the building and even fewer had more designs passed that.

Also, falsely attempting to quote Trump's words, when he also told them do so peacefully. Is just poor performance on your part.

What were they there to do? What was their intention? Do “protests” usually lead to US congressmen needing to cower under their chairs with guns drawn by security behind hastily barricaded doors?

No, that's why it's called a riot.

Please learn to keep up.

They were there to “fight like hell” to “stop the steal”. How else is someone supposed do that? They did as they were told.

Yes, keep perpetuating a lie of omission, because that's definitely how discussions between adults work...
We've already established that it was a riot. You're hollow attempts to link them with another group are only recognized as being just that.

Yes, we need to be honest and straight with each other: because climate change is just a Chinese hoax, Covid is no worse than the common cold and is gonna just magically disappear by April 2020, and you’re not gonna believe what Trump’s top people are finding on Obama’s secret birth certificate.

But 1/6 an attempt to sabotage and stop the US congress from certifying a presidential vote, based on shameless and baldfaced lies from an American president? Nah- stop it with the wild conspiracy theories!

It's really hard to take any of you seriously, especially when you start spouting nonsense incoherently like that.
