    okay, name me another president that has caused this much division in the country and lies as much as he does on a daily basis?

    Can't say I'm too concerned about this, overall. There was ample warning to the citizenry that dipshits were planning to fight. Dipshits showed up and fought. Some of them got punched. Shocking outcome, isn't it?

    But life goes on. I was downtown this morning and there was a film crew making a movie (or something). Otherwise normal.

    Right, that tells me all I need to know. Good luck, but your boy isn't looking very good. Maybe one of his dictator buddies will take him in as Putin will be casting him aside when he is voted out of office.

    Just fuck right the hell off with that nonsense. The right is just as full of snowflakes as the left.

    There are people on the left who are sore losers. There are people on the right who are sore winners.

    Sure - and the KKK only exists because those damn socialists/lefties insisted on freeing the slaves. :rolleyes3: Seriously, neoNazi groups have been around the NW for decades. They may have changed their names, but they didn't just come into existence.

    No, Donald Trump invented all those hate groups in 2016 actually. Their mere existence is his fault.

    Whining about the president isn’t a legitimate excuse for fucking shit up. People ostracize and divide themselves when they act like dipshits and constantly try to pick fights and agitate “the other side”.
    You don’t get to literally and actively be part of the division problem, then turn around and say “look at how he’s dividing us”.

    You got that exactly backwards. It's the Right wing extremists that practiced violence that brought about ANTIFA.

    No, you said proud boys. Not white extremists. Yes, why extremists have been around much longer, but that isnt what you said. You said proud boys and they came about because of the Antifa movement.

    Here you go:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys
    https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys
    https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gavin_McInnes
    Is anyone so blind as to think this group is not all about bigotry and violence? Did you know that they marched with the KKK and Nazis in Charlottesville carrying torches and chanting "Jews will not replace us!"?

    Edit:
    This from the FBI -
    “There have been instances where self-identified Proud Boys have been violent,” he said. “We do not intend and we do not designate groups, especially broad national groups, as extremists.”

    Please link me a right wing extremist protest in Portland prior to the Trump election riots back in 2016.
