But the problem is that the media blew this thing somewhat out of proportion by focusing on the most insane and bizarre of the group, while ignoring the many peaceful that were not acting like idiots.

The US Capitol building was stormed, penetrated, and vandalized, and there were deaths and serious injuries.  What the hell else would they focus on?

he has a fixation for “Rufus“ and rural “
Murica” - because that is the polarized way in which he views the world.  Either you see things his way or you’re stupid. How familiar is that?

This is also a tired, incorrect invention.  The "he thinks they're stupid" bit.  Stop.  

In using certain words, I AM absolutely describing a cultural subset of people.  But these people aren't stupid - that's what makes it so frustrating.  If they were stupid, I wouldn't bother with it.  
But on the average, yes, they are less educated.  Hmm, I wonder why that specific phrase is a thing....hmmm, maybe it's because they're not less intelligent.  Maybe it's because they simply lack the higher education that sort of comes in handy when discussing and acting on these complicated matters!?!!
These less educated people aren't any less able to understand something, but I will suggest that they're more susceptible to being pandered to and not knowing or caring about it.  They're probably more likely to expose themselves to confirmation bias because it's comfortable.  They're less likely to actually watch/listen to the "other side" and just believe what theyre being told about the othr side.  

The "poorly educated" are a lost opportunity of good things in our country.  But they tend to travel less, tend to move fewer times, etc.  Yes, their "crime" is tending to exist in more of a bubble, which is no crime at all.  
But trying to penetrate that bubble for their benefit isn't a crime, either.  And for the most part, the only people who think they are stupid are the ones feeding them nonsense 24/7.  
Yes, those taking advantage of them are the ones who think they're stupid.  Not me.

So the educated thing to do is to fully submit to the trendiest ideology that you can possibly find, which commands strict obedience to 100% of their insane dogma no matter how illogical or hypocritical it gets, otherwise "yer an uneducated deplorable alt right nazi klansman from the trailer park!"? 

Clearly a very compelling recruiting pitch.

It's just amusing to me when being a spineless conformist who just mindlessly assimilates to the borg is touted as the "educated" option.

As inviting as all that sounds, I think I'll just stick with the ole "thinking for oneself" instead.

3 of the 4 deaths were from medical emergencies .That's not even a good day for your knuckle dragging goons. In Cleveland you didn't seem to care your yapping jackels had injured dozens of horses from the mounted unit .Because like those bus shelters those horses had it coming

This level of political discussion is fascinating, as usual. :34:

I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Was someone on this board defending them?  
I'm interacting with your posts, guys.  My lack of criticizing the abhorrent actions and ideas from the leftists are because none of you are defending them.
.
Do you not see this????
There are ignorant, irrational people on both radical ends of the spectrum, but a certain group of you only defend the conservative ones, and so that's who I'm interacting with here.
.
You're not blind enough to miss that, are you?

I can tell which side a person is on, one side makes light of it all, and the other tries to turn it into something it clearly wasn't to make it seem even more serious.

It was neither, in my view.

At any rate, life goes on.  I think it worth considering possible government over reach and over reaction, which I think we are prone to doing.

I've not defended or voted for Trump you paint with a wide brush.Got any more of those drugs?How many of you are in there? You vacillate so much like a yammering yeti on fire forgetting half of your bombast from last summer. You obviously blow past giving cheer and sympathy to those destroying other people's property.I even stated I hoped your heroes visit your neighborhood next. Others have taken note it's why your credibility keeps collapsing in on itself.

I'm flattered that you've decided to focus on me, but I don't see why.  Hypocrisy is what one end of the spectrum is doing now, in regards to banning local leadership from deciding what's best for them after demanding that be the case a year ago.  
.
As for me and the looters/antifa stories/posts:
I have said looting is wrong
I have said they tried simply kneeling, but that was just too outrageous
I have said the looting is predictable, because when non-violent means are ignored.....
.
I'll say now that democrats are idiots who have basically given away the biggest political advantage I've ever seen - and they've given it away over woke culture.  There is no such thing as too woke, and that's the sword they're falling on.  Pronouns and cancel culture and an obsession over trans people has seen them volunteer over their political advantage Trump gave them.
.
Meanwhile, the republicans continue winning with bad ideas, simply by lying and giving horrific ideas positive, patriotic names.  It'd be comical if it wasn't so important.  But it is what it is.
.
Neither party is catering to the prudent citizens of the country.  No news outlet is telling it like it is.  And no one who should be in power seeks it out.  God bless 'Murica.
