actual fear mongering

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan: if those "on the right win in 2022, to me, democracy looks like it's over in America. Fascism is here to stay." Apparently those who want a much smaller federal government presence in our lives, those who actually support free speech and reject cancel culture, are now the fascists, that's an interesting take on the definition of fascism.

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross: A civil war is here. And I don't mean to by hyperbolic."


Democrat Jamaal Bowman, NY: "civil war...is what's at stake right now in terms of this election."

Democrats can never just lose an election and go back to the drawing board and figure out how to do better in 2 years, like the GOP did after getting annihilated in 2008 (which is way worse than what democrats will likely face in 2022). Every single time democrats don't get what they want, it's a national disaster, a temper tantrum, a menstrual hissy fit.

Biden: "if republicans win, inflation will get worse."

That just makes all kinds of sense.

Understanding issues Jim? I guess you didn't see how far Trump and a very large circle of supporters went in order to hold on to power and cancel out hundreds of thousands of votes. That was just the starting point, I guess you haven't tracked the polls, or you would know how many republicans still to this day believe Trump won and that the election was stolen. I guess you aren't aware of how many republican candidates and every level are running on the big lie and if some get into power blue votes might not matter in some locations. The civil war rhetoric was all over every right wing media outlet ahead of the election, during and after, I guess you don't understand some democrats take that threat seriously.

show me some data, ANY data, to suggest that more registered republicans were involved in a plot to overturn the 2020 election on january 6, than there were registered democrats who were rioting and burning cities in the summer of 2020.

I’ll wait.

Obviously there are more than a few jerks on the right. But as a whole, we take law and order much more seriously than the left, and want a smaller federal government. Those are actual differences between the two sides

Thats a funny post Jim, thanks I needed a good laugh, but no need to wait, I made my point and you as you always do come up with some crazy whataboutism false equivalency. There are those on this forum who will jump at the chance to get into your usual circular debate, I've got better things to amuse myself with. Carry on.

I questioned your point with a question so obvious a child would ask. And as usual, you dodged answering and lobbed some baseless insults, a sure sign that you have no response, but are too small to say so.

Bringing up politically motivated riots from the left that were infinitely more destructive and deadly, is whatabout-ism. I love it. So you can never, ever be guilty of hypocrisy. It's all whatabout-ism. Very convenient. You have given yourself a permanent get-out-of-jail free card.

Why do you support an emerging autocratic movement willing to violently attack the Capitol to overthrow a legitimate election?

You first. Use footnotes.

Poor victim
The media you absorb has warped your thinking
You are frantic over at best a tiny problem.

Eight people were shot near the campus of James Madison University in Virginia yesterday and it barely registered as news. In most other countries, that would be a massive story. Here in America, it’s just another day.

But the victim is worried that a child may get what he considers inappropriate care.
If they just did conversion therapy……

Your problem Jim you have no perspective when you post everything is political

The real war on police was Covid

But crickets on that let’s face it Republicans have made the streets more dangerous for police the Democrats ever have with their guns for all mentally. See. Blow re. Enforces that. Numbers don’t lie





More officers died in the South than all other regions combined.

Wayne, so you care about data? Your side says cops are out to kill blacks, yet where do "cops" stand on the list of things killing blacks? Somewhere below lightning?

Ask cops which side portrays them honestly, and which side demonizes them?

Why do national police unions support Republicans now?

Why do national police unions support Republicans now?
here is the data Jim

Native Americans were killed by police at a rate three times that of white people (77 total killed). Black people were killed at 2.6 times the rate of white people (1,265 total killed); and Hispanics were killed at nearly 1.3 times the rate of white people (889 total killed). Among unarmed victims, Black people were killed at three times the rate (218 total killed), and Hispanics at 1.45 times the rate of white people (146 total killed).

changing the subject again. what a suprise what's happened to this war on police you claim exist

Why do national police unions support Republicans now

MONEY !!!! funny you hate unions now you use them as a defence

only you Jim see accountability as demonizes police why is that?

what don't you expect more from your police .. or do think blind support without question is what's needed ! because that's what you do.

That means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Zip. You need to take into account that blacks disproportionately make up people who commit violent crimes. If blacks disproportionately commit violent crime, why wouldn't you expect their rates of death by cop to be higher.

Jesus God almighty man.
