People are still in denial.
It will either slowly and sadly fade out or it will blow up in a year.
?
What I mean is that the potential rioters (we all know ow who these are) are still in denial. They still think Trump might win/have won.
Once they realize that it's a done deal, (whether it takes couple weeks or a whole year) they'll either start rioting or have lost so much energy by then to do anything.
Yeah, as predicted. 70 million people across the nation didn't get their way, not one city burning down. Just imagine if Trump won. You know what would happen.
Now imagine that the supreme court decides there has been a fraud and the final outcome is that trump wins 😂😂
Al Gore thought he was president for over 30 days...
One side seems understand better that looting doesn’t improve your city or protect people you care than the other side. not 100%,but disproportionately.
As a dem biden voter (albeit a moderate one), I'm very ashamed to say that you're absolutely right...
It will be interesting to see who perpetrates the next protest that "gets out of hand".
If I had to guess why each group will protest. The right will because They do not like the change in policy or the courts get packed. The Left because of either a Supreme court case ruling or police violence.
Which will happen first. If the right doesn't protest by end of year (or biden's first 90 days), Then it will forsure be the left that will protest.
lol
Lol
Hey! How did this hold up?
Strange how there are no Republican riots after watching Biden voters loot over the last few months.
The type of Republicans that would loot don’t live in cities. The type of Republicans that live in cities won’t loot.

Hmmmmmmmmmm ok
There was something going on in Portland the other day, and the National Guard was finally brought in by the Governor. I guess she no longer finds those "Antifa" people to be useful to her and the Democrats. The days of burning cities down to "resist Trump" seem to be over.
Where are the CRE and financeabc comments? They have convinced everyone that anyone who supports trump is an absolute degenerate and the scourge of the USA.
Ugh I just love them! Whenever they comment a voice in my head goes “THIS.” They are the change.
That's a strawman. There are very valid reasons to oppose trump.
Congrats man. Mission accomplished. You got yourself a bunch of praise for scap goating a couple of people. This what they did in the school yards where I grew up.
I was speaking about this with a friend recently and it is funny/sad. Democrats have legitimately seized power through force. Whether that be mentally (thought and speech police) or physically (burning things down, looting) when they don’t like an outcome.
Speaking of the “new normal” I would say this is the new normal. What they have done is actually very effective because to be honest, I don’t even care or want to know if there was widespread voter fraud because it would just yield cities burning down and violence including death, which is also known as peaceful protesting.
Someone here said it, but if you are a moderate democrat/liberal and you aren’t seeing the issue with this stuff it’s actually pretty sad. I know the retort will be along the lines of “well this is what happens when voices aren’t heard etc” but is that the real logic you use when you see people ransacking an Apple store?
Classic “the ends outweigh the means” mode. Right?
Yes and it has gotten to the point where the last time there was a riot in Chicago over “police brutality” the person who was shot opened fire on cops before being shot with an illegal handgun. I think it was on film and I believe the person survived.
What is going on is a masterful tactic because I think they are just wearing down society to become so jaded that they are indifferent to any values or morals they hold true.
I am guessing that I am not alone in not wanting to know if there was voter fraud, I don’t even want an investigation. This may be one of the most unamerican things I have ever said but: I would much rather have Biden as president than 3+ months of rioting, violence, and cities being burned down if voter fraud is uncovered and the election goes the other way. I think that illustrates the example well. I also am starting to think that cops shouldn’t really be proactive at all because it increases the risk of an altercation which will lead to rioting.
I just want to continue my life and be left along and also not hear about this shit 24/7. The only issue I have is if they won the senate as well and my taxes skyrocketed. I would be willing to have anyone as president if my taxes can just stay the same and people stop rioting.
Hey what the Dems are doing is terrible, but I gotta say that the Republicans started it with all the Tea Party nonsense and Trump.
This hits the nail right on the head.
I seem to have missed the memo that flags, police, military etc. are fascist. Because when Obama was prez, these things didn't exist right? I was a never-trump republican for a long time, but this shit is about to get outta hand.
The opinion on what these items symbolized drastically changed when Kaepernick was treated like a Russian spy for taking a knee.
Republicans could not rationalize that police brutality, systemic racism amongst other issues needed to be publicly addressed and dog whistled him for peacefully protesting.
Rofl I didn’t know getting more votes means using force.
Gee it's almost as if most conservatives aren't children and can deal with disappointments in life. Would ya look at that??
Trump supporters are terrorists not protestors.
Lol. 70+ million terrorists. We would be the largest organization in the world. Screaming "MAGA" as we ensure all law abiding citizens the right to bear arms.
Yep. terrorists.
The left got their way so there probably wont be any. When they don't get their way they act like petulant children and thugs.
Right now there is the Democratic Party and the Fascist Party.
I’m so glad police brutality and racism ended ! Too bad those dumb republicans can’t protest, either! They’re probably too busy going to work or something.
Quite incredible - day 1 of a media-determined Biden presidency and COVID is suddenly eradicated too!
Trump supporters don't live in cities. Hard to organize a riot in the middle of nowhere.
Dude the level that you’ve been reaching to lately is beyond mental gymnastics. Friends of mine who are reasonable people who vote Democrat understand that it is an issue that is only happening on one side. You really think republicans aren’t rioting right now because there are not many in the West Village?
Just to refute that real quick, please check this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54783016.
The Major NYC Counties: 1. New York County: 65,000 Trump voters. 2. Bronx County: 55,000 Trump voters. 3. Queens County: 181,000 Trump voters. 4. Kings County: 174,000 Trump voters.
The Major County in Philadelphia: 1. Philadelphia County: 127,000 Trump voters.
The Major County in LA: 1. LA County: 984,000 Trump voters.
The Major County in San Francisco: 1. San Francisco County: 51,000 Trump voters.
The Major County in Chicago: 1. Cook County: 485,000 Trump voters.
These are just a couple of cities that come to mind. If Trump supporters behaved like petulant children, then sure, we can organize riots in each and every single one of America's cities. But that's the difference. We're good, decent people that have respect and civility. So do everyone a favor and kindly shut up.
Yeah, if you think that was a serious comment, or this thread is worthy of serious responses, you need to wonder which one of us is detached from reality here...
There is some truth in what @Cre is saying. It is more convenient to protest/riot when you live close to a big city and you will get plenty of media coverage. If you live in a suburb of Idaho, it is going to challenging to find enough people to protest and it probably will not get covered by the media.
They travelled to Charlottesville.
This whole thread is the whitest dudes that do not believe in systemic racism
what?
I'm Indian and I don't believe in it. I believe in racism 100% and I've been subjected to quite a bit of it, but it's NOT systematic and it hasn't prevented me from success. Same goes for my black peers.
Another Indian here. I believe that there is systematic racism in America. Don't simp for the dominant class, my dude
I refuse to believe that a POC is actively playing into the minority model and equating personal success with a solution to a multi decade long issue
If you think that the level of racism against Indians is comparable to the level of racism against black people, you have been smoking way too much weed.
For the most part I agree. This topic is one big dog whistle.
How dense is this fucking site? The protests and riots are the cause of innocent people dying at the hands of law enforcement, not because who the fucking president is. Hell, I don't even agree with the rioting, but I am informed enough to know the cause. I wish you guys would stop listening to far-right talking heads and actually see why these people are doing the things they do. Stop spreading hate and false narratives as it only furthers the divide.
Respond to specific comments. Where is the alt-right here?
...have you read the Off Topic forum?
Ever?
People destroyed Washington, D.C. 4 years back when Trump was inaugurated.
Here are two examples of marches in DC that were against trump ( there are a handful more that are directly against things he did but I left them out). Prior to that, I see non against Obama. The Left has proven that they will protest and riot so why would it not be fair to think they would so so again?
+1. You are right. Didn't you know that the people who do the looting and rioting are bad people. SMH I would assume that very few people here including me would support violence. No one here can appreciate how black people are occasionally treated by law enforcement. Some police officers treat black people differently from white people. My dad did not have a conversation with me regarding how to respond when getting pulled over by a police officer. Black parents feel like they need to have this conversation with their black sons. Does this mean we should defund the police. Of course not, but there should be more training for police officers.
Don’t worry. Given the number of folks out in the open without masks and drinking/sharing/celebrating, we will see an increase in covid cases.
The riots will be people trying to get into the emergency room.
Conservatives know better. They aren't sore losers like people are trying to say
Man this aged well
