  1. Rank and file conservatives don't usually go to protests to threaten and beat people, so yes they are "far right" unless you're trying to convince us the rest of you are just as loopy.

  2.  @michaelhernsin  BLM and antifa and people who have joined them are protesters, who have a right to do what they're doing. Proud Boys are there specifically to start fights, that's illegal and is in no way similar to what BLM and antifa are doing. It's a false equivalency.

  6.  @mikepurdue7472  That would be backing what you say, I never said the Proud Boys burned anything down.

  7.  @jc-kj6mv  Months of riots yeah I totally buy your story despite all the evidence to the contrary.

  8.  @jc-kj6mv  So that sounds like a riot to you? A road was blocked? So I guess parades and farmer's markets are also riots. "Getting people out of shops and restaurants" thanks for the vague language, I'm sure you know what you're talking about. For me it's unclear if you're talking about kidnapping or reducing business, and if it's the latter that obviously has way more to do with the shutdown than protesters. You exaggerate, it's a form of lying.

  9.  @jc-kj6mv  Again, months of looting and burning would produce results that can be filmed. It would look a bit like those cities had been bombed, but it just doesn't. Your narrative needs some reality, the "months of rioting" story isn't fooling anyone with eyes. Yes, some protesters have done bad things, that doesn't make protests "riots" and it doesn't make protesters "looters." No, you said the protests were riots, you don't get to reply with "I'm not saying ... all protesters behave like this" Be consistent, you weren't talking about protests at all. You used the word "riots," you're categorizing protesters as rioters. You've gone to great effort to do that, you don't get to hold both opinions.

  10.  @jc-kj6mv  Okay, since there are extremists who agree with you, I guess by your logic you're involved with vote suppression and inciting violence. Too bad you didn't stop them. Yes, I've seen all sorts of footage of looting and burning, and protesters stopping looters, and paid agitators trying to incite looting and violence, videos of areas that had supposedly been destroyed by looters that was of course not destroyed, video and photos of riots that were actually taken in other countries or altered to look more provoking. It's been a media frenzy but since most protests are peaceful I can see the smear campaign for what it is. I can't say I love protesters because it usually involves a lot of unemployed people or anarchists, but they're not usually into violence or destruction of property, or getting hauled away for illegal detention. Sometimes they do poopy things, but honestly I couldn't even hope to join a protest and I believe in the cause, especially locally. I salute anybody who uses the right to protest to accomplish good. And I never said I saw no footage of burning or looting. You're misquoting me unintentionally or otherwise.

  11.  @randyrigsby8907  Wolverine Watchmen (according to Fox affiliates): Obsessed with constitution and Bill of Rights Upset with covid shutdown and mask laws as the work of "tyrants." Government interference is just about the longest running theme in the conservative universe. Discuss kidnapping and murder Well they're not exactly making a good case for being left wing or "non-extremists."
