You guys have never forgiven Hillary for running against trump. So much so, that you continue to harass the Clinton family in their own homes. Antifa's not the problem, trumpists are, my friend.
Trump supporters were happy Hillary ran against Trump so poorly.

We laughed at Hillary’s constant excuses concerning why she lost to Trump. ETC.

Antifa is the problem.

Trumpists are not the problem.

imho Roseann:)

Hey, Rosey! Hope all is well with you! I honestly think that we need to keep an eye on these rw militias. No joke! Democrats aren't the only ones in danger when they decide to activate. Remember OK City?

Antifa? Well, the only time we need to worry about them is when there are white supremacist marches, and even then, the ws's are the only ones in danger from anyone calling themselves, "Antifa".

I honestly believe this, my friend! Please be well!

Some people just do not like anti-fascists. Go figure.
 
Is that not what Jesus said

to turn the other cheek? Yes or no
When slapped (with the palm of the right hand) turn the other cheek.

Being slapped is a form of humiliation and a challenge to fight.

Turning the other cheek is a refusal to fight when being humiliated by a mere slap to your face.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with being physically attacked that will end in physical injury to your body.

Well, trumpists truly believe the faux news bullshit about them being a real threat. No one I know has ever seen anyone from Antifa. They don't have a website, even on the dark web as far as I know (unlike the rw groups being monitored by our intelligence agencies).
 
So there was a Million MAGA March in DC this weekend and it was YUGE. Predictably Antifa pukes showed up (despite Biden claiming they don’t exist) and started harassing, threatening and assaulting Trump supporters.

(Yes, it’s the Blaze but actual video is included.

So how do you think Trump supporters should respond to things like this?

Honestly, I’m growing more and more frustrated with things like this and nothing being done. I’m starting to think that responding in kind is the only thing they’d understand.
What do you think should be done? The neo-nazi's and the other facists will calm down now that their leader is out. AntiFa will follow suit. Good things are already happening.
 
SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT, etc, etc.

Facts are facts. Vietnam was a pointless waste of lives and treasure.

I agree. Kids I went to school with died in that hell-hole; and they didn't have a choice. They were drafted right out of high-school, and spit on when they returned...if they returned. Many didn't. Vietnam was indeed a "pointless waste of lives and treasure."

That was 25 years ago.

How about providing current examples of right wing militia/white supremacist acts of domestic terrorism mass murders instead of being worried about marches.

Eventually all Americans who do not bow down to “Antifa” demands regardless of skin color will be in danger of being harmed by those calling themselves “Antifa”.

On April 19, 1995, McVeigh drove the truck to the front of the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building just as its offices opened for the day. Before arriving, he stopped to light a two-minute fuse. At 09:02, a large explosion destroyed the north half of the building. It killed 168 people, including nineteen children in the day care center on the second floor, and injured 684 others.

McVeigh was executed by lethal injection at 7:14 a.m. on June 11, 2001. Good riddance to that pile of rubbish.


Though he hoped to spark an armed revolution, Timothy J. McVeigh ended up weakening the anti-government militia movement, whose visible membership has declined since the Oklahoma City bomber's capture and trial, experts who monitor extremism said yesterday. Militia members expressed a cool indifference about McVeigh's fate, saying he stigmatized their cause and is no martyr.

"As far as McVeigh's concerned, we couldn't care less. We don't give a damn," said Ed Brown, a spokesman for the Constitution Defense Militia, based in Plainfield, N.H. But Brown, like many other conspiracy theorists who inhabit the right-wing fringe, contended that McVeigh's trial for blowing up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and killing 168 people was a sham and that McVeigh was "assisted in the bombing by criminals within the United States government."

McVeigh's deadly act of terror brought unwelcome attention to paramilitary units that once existed in nearly every state and were ready to wage war with federal agents -- whom they saw as poised to grab their guns and crush their civil rights. Militia ranks grew dramatically after the bloody FBI sieges at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and near Waco, Tex. -- events that McVeigh's lawyers said motivated his rage -- but the groups now appear to be far less active, and their existence doesn't generally worry the FBI.

Sure, the current example was the very public attempted kidnapping and "inqusition" of the Democratic governor of Michigan. Other examples are Dylan Roof, and that scumbag from Kenosha. Plus:


KEY FACTS
Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Oregon should be on high alert, warns the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), which receives funding from the U.S. government as well as from universities and European government bodies
North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, California and New Mexico are at “moderate risk” of increased activity.
ACLED, in collaboration with research group MilitiaWatch, pinpointed these states by surveying 80 different militia groups in the U.S. and considering both historical precedent—like the fact swing states have typically seen more violence in the past—and new trends that have emerged over a tense summer of coronavirus lockdowns and anti-racism protests.

Per the study, militia groups in these states have seen bumps in recruitment and training, been substantially engaged in anti-coronavirus-lockdown protests, and many cultivated relationships with law enforcement.

All this indicates that there is an increased risk of political violence before, during or after the election.
“These trends raise significant concerns for the security of the election period, how seriously the election results will be taken and the response to whichever winner is selected,” concluded the report, adding that “it is yet unclear how many of these groups will react, no matter the vote’s outcome.”

I hope no one I know gets hit by one of the militia's stray bullets, including you and yours, my friend!
 
But don't let silly facts get in the way of a good lie.

It's always interesting to see those who don't understand statistics, and their proper application and context. First, we'll start out with the fact that your chart is demonstratively off. 20+ people have been killed in BLM riots. Further, multiple police officers have been assassinated. Secondly, for the #2 and #3 spots, what % of the population do those groups make up? I'll even help you out, less than 1% of the population is Muslim. Now what do you think that means with the 107 number?

I didn't watch the video. How do we know the attacks are by Antifa?

Thumbs up doesn't seem an appropriate response to such a sad topic, so I'll just say I agree completely. The sacrifices of all those who suffered remain important, but the war itself was terribly misguided.

A Delaware man accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also threatened to hang President Donald Trump and posted a hit list on Facebook targeting other elected leaders, including former President Barack Obama, according to an unsealed search warrant affidavit obtained by The Detroit News.

The affidavit provides new details about how the FBI thwarted the alleged plot to kidnap Whitmer, a Democrat, and kill police officers by enlisting the help of confidential informants. One of the informants was a militia member who met a group of men accused in the kidnapping plot and became so concerned that the individual agreed to become an FBI confidential informant, according to the court filing.

The affidavit gave federal agents permission to search a Facebook account belonging to Barry Croft, 44, of Bear, Delaware, who was one of six men charged in federal court with conspiracy to kidnap. Evidence collected by FBI agents portrays his Facebook account as a virtual bulletin board filled with violent imagery, including a noose and a list of grievances in which he mulled killing Democrats and Republicans including South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, Muslims and liberals.

I say we hang everything currently governing us, they're all guilty!!!," Croft wrote in May on his Facebook page, which also included an image of Trump. "Wanna hang this mf'er too..."

Here, my friend. I just posted the biographies of the leader and two of the co-conspirators. Notice the passages I bolded.

-The confederate battle flag

-Two of them met at a 2nd Amendment rally

-Covid 19 deniers

-Qanon conspiracy theorists

-One of them praises Rittenhouse.

Yeah, these aren't leftists, my friend. Not at all! Want one more? Here this is a good one:

This is a good one! We have "deep state" conspiracist, white supremacist, trump supporter, and Clinton hater.

You lose this one, my friend. These are all right-wing nuts!

Sorry but I don’t lose this one.

I don’t support either right-wing/left-wing/or whatever etc. labeling used for any of the conspirator crazies harming American Citizens or Governmental Officials.

I have no problem with any crazies regardless of skin color or party affiliation being tried and convicted for multiple kinds of criminal activity.

Telling a war vet that his friends died for nothing is a pretty douchebag thing to say. I’m a little surprised you agree.

Am I supposed to believe you think military lives are “treasure.”

You’ve been putting the mental in “judgmental” lately, “friend.” Obviously there’s no potential for “unity” with people like you that can tolerate only things you believe. Pretty much all of the idiocy you’ve espoused in this thread about how everyone you disagree with is a nazi is a lie. My only question is whether you know it’s a lie or if you actually believe it. I’m not sure what’s worse.

The poster claimed the extremists who plotted to kidnap the governor weren't right wing extremists. I presented evidence to the contrary. I'm sure you're not aware given your deeply emotional state right now, but that's how debates are supposed to work.

Hang in there - you've got 4 years to come up with even more bizarre conspiracy theories about "them evil Democrats"!

Because you haven’t claimed every Trump supporter is a Nazi and supported violence toward them?

Yep, gas-lighting. Please pull down my post where I said all trump supporters are nazis.

You might think about taking a day off from these boards, X. I don't belive your posts are rational responses to what's actually being discussed.

I hear trump's stopped working entirely now. Not meeting with anyone, holed up in his room tweeting up a storm. Perhaps you should drop in on the poor guy, you can have a whine-fest about how evil Democrats and the liberal media are. If it weren't for those two things trump would have gone down as the world's greatest president and would have been reelected, right?

🤣 :LOL: :oops:
